• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am aware the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and its members have a huge task ahead of us regarding the vetting of the 25 High Commissioners and Ambassadors that have since been referred to them besides the vetting of the Director-General of the National Intelligence Service (NIS). It is our view that we will use the provisions of Standing Orders No.29 and 61 to call for a special sitting of the House, if need be, to discuss the reports of that Committee should they conclude them in time. view
