• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to second this Motion. Not much needs to be said on this Motion. It is self- evident that there is need for us to go to court. Explanations are contained in the Motion itself. I agree with the Senate Majority Leader that nobody should fault anybody for going to court. In the year 2012, when we could not hold general elections as stipulated in the Constitution, the Grand Coalition Government had to go to court to seek an advisory opinion as to when to hold the elections because the date stipulated by the court had ... view
