Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am rising to make my comment on the discussion that is going on over the meeting at State House. The discussion lacks merit because we have no material before this House to actually discuss any meeting whatsoever. That is because we need to even substantiate what we are alluding to, that there was a party meeting and its illegality at State House. I think hon. Members must learn fast. I think we are bordering on discussing the conduct of the Head of State and that really cannot be allowed on the Floor of the House, particularly, ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, we thought the “noes” were supposed to continue and the “yes” were supposed to adjourn until tomorrow. So, when we were saying “no”, we wanted to finish with this Bill today. That was the position. For the “noes”, we finish and we do away with this Bill and the “yes” adjourn until tomorrow. I wanted your intervention on that.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I do know that this particular Bill; The Division of Revenue Bill, has been contentious. I would like you to make some clarifications. I think it should be understood that really the interest when I raised this issue before the Bill was brought back was not really to downplay the role of the Senate or rather to interfere with devolution. I must confess that I am one of those supporters of devolution and I must confess that those who know me well know the role I played when we were doing the Public Finance Management ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your permission, if you could just allow me two or three minutes because the Speaker had actually made a ruling that it was a mistake to refer this Bill in the first place to the Senate. Since then I have heard Senators insisting that they have a role to play in this Bill. I have equally read on the newspapers an advert put up by the Speaker of the Senate and with all due respect, I have a feeling that probably the Speaker to the Senate did not read what my concerns were and so he ...
