• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: What is it, Senate Majority Leader? view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: What is it, Sen. Wetangula? view
• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Starting with the last remark by Sen. Wetangula, I cannot help; it is up to them to get their act together. However, hon. Senators know we adopted a purely presidential system. The Government does not sit in the House per se, but Parliament still has the responsibility of prosecuting Government Bills and business. The Standing Orders have provided for the Senate Majority Leader, the Deputy Senate Majority Leader, the Majority Chief Whip and the Deputy Majority Chief Whip on the Government side. Sen.

• 30 Apr 2013 in Senate: Sen. Dr. Machage, my Order Paper does not have any other business apart from the Motion. In any case, following the point of order by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in terms of the communications I read – I had indicated that the Senate Leader of Majority would be moving a Motion for Adjournment of the House – this is the time to do it. That Motion will respond to some of the issues you are soliciting from the Chair in terms of elections of the Committees. view
