• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: parties would be five and four slots, respectively. To this extent, therefore, independent candidates were not entitled to a slot in the light of their current composition of Parliament. Therefore, in making provision for independent candidates, the rule recognises the possibility of a future scenario where independent candidates may be entitled to a slot or slots of the membership of EALA. Yesterday, I was told by one Member who is vying as an independent candidate that there will not be less than 30 independent Members in this House.

• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: One definition which was difficult to determine was the meaning of “shades of opinion”. I will leave that to the political class. My good friend, Hon. Kaluma, will tell me what it means. Rule 6 (2) is also very critical and I want to read it for the benefit of Members. It provides that: view
