Several of the clarifications I was thinking about have been raised by my good friend, Mr. Namwamba. The issue I raised last week in this House with regard to the Political Parties Act, and to which the Chair agreed was a grave matter, was as to the manner in which the decision was taken to operationalise this Act while we were waiting for a Ministerial Statement. Therefore, the issue was alive in the House. I do appreciate that action was taken. I also commend her for getting the President to do so. However, she did not address it. I would like to hear what she has to say about it."}
