    "content": "by members of a party or a coalition. It is attendance by an individual Member. Responsibility in matters to do with attendance and compliance with the Constitution and all Standing Orders must be taken to the individual Member. I would also beg that you direct the Office of the Clerk to make sure that they make public the attendance of all the Members who have attended these four sittings. This should include this one so that those who are out there, including those who are competing with our colleagues in our constituencies... They might have forgotten there is a court ruling in a case filed in the High Court, when we were on recess during the campaigns. That court ruling did wonders in matters to do with recall of an MP. It is now much easier for any member of the public or any registered voter anywhere to institute proceedings to recall an MP. Previously, provisions in the Elections Act, Section 45 or 46 of 48, is one of those that were annulled. It had barred your competitors from instituting proceedings to recall you. But the court has now allowed even those who were competing to do it. I am just speaking in reference to those who are out there seeking to occupy these seats occupied by the Members of the NASA Coalition. Now they have an opportunity to come to this House and extract a record in line with the Constitution because they have constitutional rights to get information from this House showing which MPs of the NASA Coalition have missed four sittings. They only need to count another four sittings and institute proceedings to recall these people and allow others to represent their people. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you can see, there still could be others who are coming in to sign. It is important you pronounce yourself on this matter."
