Speaker, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate Amendments to the Energy Bill (National Assembly Bill No.50 of 2015) be now considered. I agree with the Senate amendments to Clauses 2, 53, 57(e)(ii) and (iii) and Clause 249 of the Bill.

Clause 2 of the Bill refers to the local community as a ward or wards ... view

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, that is the position. Unfortunately, most Members have not carried their Constitution. The Constitution states directly or through elected leaders.
