• 6 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee presents the Report to Parliament and recommends that it adopts it so as to give the proposed rules and procedure force of law. It should approve the separate rule of voting. I said we considered two ways of voting. So, the Committee recommends and seeks approval for separate voting as the preferred mode of elections. Finally, parliament should note and observe the timelines as proposed. view
