14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
You need to guide us such that at the beginning of a sitting of the House, or when we are debating, quorum may not be necessary. That is why we have the HANSARD. If Members want to find out what transpired in the House, they can always refer to the HANSARD. We can only require quorum when we want to make a decision in the Committee of the whole House, and when you want to put the Question. This is something we need to decide. I do not want to talk about the other respectable House, where our colleagues live ...

This is a very clear Procedural Motion. Tomorrow, we have the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President as per the provisions of the Constitution and the Gazette Notice signed by you and your colleague, the Speaker of the Senate.

We felt that we cannot have a morning sitting so that we can give our staff and those people who are preparing this great day enough time to deal with in-house matters. It is a ...

The ruling, indeed, raised fundamental issues touching on the ability of this House to exercise its oversight and legislative roles as spelt out in Article ...

And we will deal with whoever, even if it is the Cabinet Secretaries. So, if you think you can buy time until this Parliament goes home then you must prepare yourself. This House, through a Motion, gave the Committee 21 days. What happened to the 21 days? Hon. Speaker, I also need clarification on whether the Committee can be stopped from exercising its oversight role, which has been conferred to it by the Constitution and the Standing Orders. The basis upon which the Committee is being stopped from doing its work is that The electronic version of the Official Hansard ...
