I beg to move the following Motion- THAT AWARE THAT on 20th September 2023, the Senate adopted the Report of the Committee of Powers and Privileges on the conduct of Sen. Gloria Orwoba, MP, and resolved to suspend the Senator from the precincts of Parliament for the remainder of the Second Session of the Thirteenth Parliament which period amounted to seventy-nine (79) calendar days; COGNIZANT THAT Sen. Orwoba subsequently sought judicial intervention, obtaining a court order that stayed the implementation of the Senate’s resolution until the matter was determined, and that the High Court, in its judgment delivered on 15th January, 2025, dismissed the petition, thereby reinstating the suspension; CONSIDERING THAT Sen. Orwoba has shown considerable level of remorse and that following the Communication by the Speaker on Wednesday, 12th February, 2025, on the implementation of the resolution of the Senate on the “ Report of the Committee of Powers and Privileges on the conduct of Sen. GloriaOrwoba, MP”, the Senator was apologetic of her conduct; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to section 17(3)(d) and (g) of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, the Senate resolves to vary its resolution made on 20th September, 2023 suspending Sen. Orwoba from the Senate and precincts of Parliament for seventy-nine (79) calendar days and reduces the suspension period to thirty (30) calendar days, commencing 12th February, 2025 to 13th March 2025, after which the Senator shall be allowed back The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
