• 24 Apr 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Ruweida for bringing this timely Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor view
• 24 Apr 2024 in National Assembly: It is a shame that this kind of a protocol is something that we have to discuss on the Floor of this House. This should be something that goes without saying. How we treat our armed forces and other people who serve the country is very important. Our military has been on the spotlight in the last few days. Throughout our processes in the country, starting with budget-making, we endeavour to ensure that our defence forces are very well taken care of. In my opinion, the important thing for us as a country is to live by what is set ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: It is really difficult to deal with that because the exemption was so that the matter can be considered. The exemption was for the matters in Order 9 so as not to appear today because this morning is for Members' Motions and Bills. We exempted all of them up to Order17, and that is why we are considering them. It is that simple. Hon. Makali, kindly do something about it. It is only fair that such a thing should not arise while you are seated next to Hon. Mwale. view

• 20 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Chepkong’a for coming up with this Bill. In its entire existence of over 200 years, the US Senate and US House of Representatives have never taken each other to court. Whenever any one of them tries to do so, the courts recuse themselves in all situations. It is a wonder that in the last 12 years, we have seen so much litigation, most of the time originating from the Senate, on matters that could be resolved amongst ourselves without bringing in a third party. view

• 20 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: There have also been situations where this House guides the Senate and vice versa, sometimes in words and manners that do not promote amity and comity of working together as the two Houses. That is why I believe this Bill is very important in deciding how best these two Houses are going to work. There have been situations where the Senate thinks it is a superior House. In fact, there is a situation where we have encouraged forum shopping. People think that when you go to the Senate, you get a better result than when you come to the National ... view
