  • 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, our standing orders are very clear that when you are forming the committees you have to base it on the party strength. This House cannot debate a matter that is unconstitutional and is in breach of our standing orders. We have two major coalitions. If we assume that the Jubilee Coalition has 216 hon.

Giving hon. Member just five minutes to contribute to such an important matter, to me, would be negligence of duty. view

Actually, if we want to utilise our time efficiently and effectively, as has been proposed, then we should ... view
