• 22 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can see that sense is trying to sneak back into this House. I have expressed a lot of frustration that we are losing the collegiate nature of this House that we experienced in the first Session. I am very happy that the steps that have been taken by the leadership, will address where the rains started beating us on this particular issue. Immediately that is addressed, I am sure we will move on. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to correct the record because this is a House of record. The HANSARD will show ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week, I was getting hot and bothered about this matter. Now that I know exactly what is going on, I am just laughing. I have discovered that they are just basic political games. I would use the word ‘cheap,’ but people will jump out of their seats.

Dullo on the action that she has taken. The proper forum for resolution of disputes between political parties and their members, ... view

• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: are being told that the Minority Side will stay without a Whip until that matter is resolved. It cannot be true. In my submissions, I ask that you separate matters that are covered by these proceedings and the court order that was served upon you. If there are matters that are not covered by that dispute, make pronouncements on the leadership of the Deputy Minority Whip seat. Lastly, we heard you being told that you should be afraid of some undisclosed consequences if you were to defy a court order. As a lawyer who did not waste time or sleep ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I further point out that every time we argue with our colleagues in the National Assembly on which House is the Upper or the Lower one, we impeach our own arguments by making ourselves subservient to the National Assembly every single opportunity we get.
