"content": "that all Members be present for the induction programme even if they are old Members because some of our Standing Orders have changed and I am sure even the old Members will also benefit from the induction programme. I was an observer in the elections that were carried out in the Senate. I realised that both the Jubilee and the National Super Alliance (NASA) sides were in the Senate Chambers and they voted for their Deputy Speaker. I am wondering why this boycott by our colleagues on the NASA side is only being effected in the National Assembly while in the Senate, business is going on as normal. I just want to encourage our colleagues that the buck stops with them as individuals and leaders who have been elected. At the end of the day, the people who elected them will be the ones who will question what they are doing in terms of how they are representing them. Therefore, I just want to encourage them that they should join us in the induction programme so that, as we resume on 26th September, as per this Adjournment Motion, we shall all have the relevant knowledge to carry out proper programmes during the sessions of Parliament. I beg to move."
