I also want to say that I am one of those who have appended their names to the signature of the Minority Report. Even when the Majority wants to have their way, it is responsible democracy that everybody be heard. This is not a subject for those of us who are in this Chamber. This is a subject for the nationals of this country who are anxiously watching how the practice of democracy and how view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: there are watching, therefore, how we treat the people we claim to represent and if, therefore, the Petitions will be dismissed and treated as rags. I have less than five minutes and I cannot say much. But what are we called to do in this House? Article 251 of the Constitution, particularly Sub-section 3, says that we shall consider the Petition and if satisfied that it discloses a ground under Clause 1, shall send the Petition to the President.

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: If, as the National Assembly and as the Member for Tiaty wants to confess--- He has said on record that there were procurement issues. That alone is an issue good enough to send to the President so that he can form a tribunal and investigate. This is because it is not for us to investigate. The tribunal will pass a verdict whether the IEBC was wrong or right. view
