The speaker of parliament Anita Annet Among has warned ministers to stop their idle corridor talks of accusing the members of parliament of rejecting the government bills when many of the ministers don’t attend the plenary sittings.
In her remarks when opening today’s plenary sitting the speaker of parliament noted that many ministers failed to come to parliament to defend their bills during the time of considering the bills and after they went to the cabinet and started blaming the house for not passing their bills and yet the ministers were not in their house to defend their bills.
The speaker Anita Among reminded the ministers that parliament is not a theater of legislation and that legislative matters and concerns are best addressed only in parliament but not in cabinet and anywhere else.
She also expressed dissatisfaction with some ministers who have made it in attendance of attacking parliament and accusing the houses of being bribed not to approve some RAPEX bill.
The speaker also challenged the executive to close parliament if they see it is doing nothing instead of tarnishing and destroying the integrity of members of parliament and parliament at large
