Was Parliament�s amendment of the Standing Orders Constitutional? (Part I)

This, after government waged a legal challenge on the amendment’s constitutionality, a process which not only delayed the swearing in of Members of Parliament (MPs), but also halted the election of the Vice President, and the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly.

I need to hasten to state that though one may not agree with government’s action, one has to admire the fact that, as confirmation for its respect for the rule of law, government is using the courts, and not a presidential decree, to pray for the amendment’s rescission.
