So even as people wish to bask wherever they may wish to bask, if they travel without the permission of the Speaker, then the matter will be dealt with in accordance with that particular provision of the Constitution. should the number of times that they bask total to eight, it is immaterial who you could have been accompanying as long as you did so, you chose to have that company without first of all knowing that you are a Member of Parliament in the National Assembly, it is up to you. I think the best thing is we know for a fact that those that travel to represent the House always do so with the permission of the Speaker. A lot of times, we refer those matters to the individual Committees so that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
