It is true that Standing Order No.92 (4) which states:- “A Senator alleging that a matter is sub judice shall provide evidence to show that paragraphs (2) and (3) are applicable.” Paragraph 2 says that a discussion of such matter is likely to prejudice its fair determination. Civil proceedings shall be deemed to be active when arrangements for hearing such as setting down a case for trial have been made until the proceedings are ended by judgement or discontinuance.

• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Those might be the kind of issues based on the court process. The difficulty here is in the technicality and substance. Sen.

By the way, one of the reasons the Chair had to convene such a meeting and invite the CS himself, is because he wanted him to address those kinds of issues. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Senator! This is a matter of fact. It is not “may”; I was not present. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order! Order! This House cannot be reduced to two Members. Mr. Chairman, you owe it to the House because you have no capacity to avail any funds. So, even to promise when they are available is a promise that you cannot guarantee. The best is to take the concerns of the Member and make further inquiries. The Member has made a good case. He says there are already resources allocated for infrastructural development. Why were they not applied in the case of the schools in his county? view
• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Order, Professor! You were on a point of order. Do not make it a debate. Sen. Leshore. view
