• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (a) in the proposed new subsection (2) by inserting the words “or nominated to an elective office” immediately after the words “holding an elective office”. view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: The proposal in Clause 14 is that if a member of a deregistered political party holding an elective office established by the constitution at a time of the political party’s deregistration, shall continue to hold office for the remainder of the elective term as a member of another political party or independent of any political party. That leaves the question on what happens to the nominated Member of Parliament. What we seek in this amendment is to include the words, “nominated Member of Parliament” to give them a lee way. Most of the Members who are going to oppose are ... view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, listening to the voting mood, and by the fact that we have allowed ourselves to vote in patterns, it might not be possible for me to move this particular amendment. I do this in exchange of what I seek to have amended in Clause 20. I, therefore, withdraw my proposed amendment to Clause 15. view

That is why we propose that each political party should maintain their register. There is no such a thing as a corporate register that the coalition political party ... view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 23. The Bill proposes to limit the chains of litigation as far as coalition parties’ dispute is concerned. That, in the event there arises a dispute between the members of a coalition party, the tribunal shall not hear and determine disputes between them. What will take effect will be their coalition agreement. What that means is that the dominant party will dominate the smaller parties in decision making. Worse still is that in the event they do not agree, the section directs that the ... view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for the very first time, I want to associate myself with the sentiments made by the Leader of the Majority Party. This is a very good positive afterthought because this particular clause provides that the Registrar prescribes the manner of conducting political party nominations.

Therefore, I support the Leader of the Majority Party on this one. I ask that our side of the political divide ... view
