Makali Mulu","speaker":{"id":1955,"legal_name":"Benson Makali Mulu","slug":"benson-makali-mulu"},"content":"Under the current law, there is a provision for the speaker to assume office if the governor and the deputy are not able. This amendment will then make sure that when the speaker assumes office, we have a good framework to take care of that. Under Part (c), when the speaker assumes office, there is a clear provision on what happens in terms of timelines and when the by-elections should be conducted. I beg to move."}
