Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I have listened very carefully to Hon. Duale. You know Hon. Duale is a former Leader of the Majority Party. He has done the business we are doing for quite a long period of time. Today, he is on the wrong side of history. The Standing Order No.30 covers both ordinary sittings and special sittings. There are no Standing Orders for special sittings and different ones for ordinary sittings. Standing Orders cater for all sittings of the House. We are ready to stay here until tomorrow morning. We are prepared. Those people who have been asking ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to go on record that there are Members who asked for Division and when we got into the process of voting, they went and blocked the Main Parliament gate and went away. That must remain in the history and in the records of this Parliament. With that, I second.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I stand to support the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill. I want to urge Members that this is how Parliament conducts its business. There must be a Bill, debate and voting, and it will be decided in one way or the other. Secondly, coalitions are here to live with us for the longest time possible. Since the advent of multiparty politics, coalitions have been in existence and this is a Bill that is going to make coalitions work better. This is a Bill that is going to make our politics have better hygiene ...

this Bill with sobriety so that we can have a Bill that is going to help this country and a Bill for posterity. For those who were there in the last Parliament, it is normal for amendments to the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act to come to the House at the tail end of Parliament.

I remember in the last Parliament, from the first election to the second election, there were amendments on whether elections should be conducted electronically or not. With those few remarks, I urge that let ...
