• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party who actually moved this Motion, I take this opportunity to thank Hon. Members for their opinions and discussion on the Presidential Statement. Quickly, I admit that as a Whip, I have noted some vibrancy in Members despite the fact that this is the first Motion they have debated. I was even wondering what would happen if some of our Members did not choose to abscond because the demand and pressure to the debate is still very high despite the absence of some of our Members. Therefore, as ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28 on the Calendar of the Assembly (Regular Sessions), as read together with Standing Order No.30(3)(c) on Hours of Meeting, this House adjourns until Tuesday, 26th September 2017 at 2.30 p.m. view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the purpose of the adjournment is to grant an opportunity to Members of Parliament. This is a normal programme of Parliament that when we are opening a new House, Members of Parliament must be given an opportunity to be inducted and trained on how the business of this House is carried out. Part of the programmes that would be in the induction is the functions and mandate of Parliament. That is part of what will be in the induction. Others are rules and procedures of the House in detail. The process of law making will be part of ... view

I was an observer in the elections that were carried out in the Senate. I realised that both the Jubilee and the National Super Alliance (NASA) sides were in the Senate Chambers and they voted for their Deputy Speaker. I am wondering why this boycott by our colleagues on the NASA side is only being effected in the National Assembly while in ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I take this opportunity to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for moving this Motion. As he clearly explained, these are merely Procedural Motions. They are procedures we used in the previous House which we did not have a problem with. I request that this House adopts the same procedures. What I want to add, now that our colleagues may not be here, especially for those who are new, the Members who will start giving us problems when it comes to the procedures of this House... We should find a session where ... view
