29 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I am still guided by your ruling and I want to confirm that we are ready to sit until 2.00 a.m. In your ruling, however, I want you to make it clear whether Standing Order No.30 applies to a Special Sitting and not an ordinary sitting of the House.

We have a serious legal and legislative team and I think this is one of the things that we may need to look at when we ...

I once occupied the position of Leader of the Majority. I do not know why it is so urgent for the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill to be subjected to this process.

Hon. Speaker, I think we Members and Chairs must protect the independence and the integrity of this House. This afternoon, among the many Communications that you issued, was that the committee sittings will end on the 13th of December, and they will resume sometime in January. This is why sometimes we are accused of Executive capture. A Vice-Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee cannot come… Hon. Shinali is a second timer.

Let me finish. We have invention, intellectual property, secretary and technology. The Vice-Chairperson can move all of them together and then when you give Members the chance to contribute, Hon.
