• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my colleague needs to read Standing Order No. 148(2). I am concerned that you are treading on dangerous ground where, when I am presenting my Statement, if somebody for one reason or another does not agree with it, then you open it up for debate. That way, I will never be able to do my Statements. I seek your protection. What Sen. Olekina was raising is a point of debate and not a point of order. Anyway, I will proceed. Number four, with respect to petitions, the Senate has received 10 petitions that have been committed to ... view

• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank colleagues who have taken time to contribute. Those in support and those opposed. That is the beauty of our democracy. That while many will agree with you, there are some who will not. However, we are a constitutional democracy. While registering my remarks, I must continue to remind the country to be alive to the kind of democracy we are seeing in the Senate these days. When the Minority side senses defeat in any Motion, they walk out. That is why they can never accept results of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission ... view

It speaks rather that they shall give regular updates on matters that are under their control. What we are doing is providing the ‘how.’ There is nowhere in this Constitution and I wish the democrats from the Minority side can learn the proper practices of parliamentary democracy where you speak and wait for others also to give their opinion instead of running away like cowards. I would have them know that there is no clause whatsoever in the Constitution that bars Cabinet ... view
