Let me just also highlight from my thoughts that it is becoming increasingly clear that Mma Nasha used her position as Speaker of the National Assembly to pass the standing orders that are a matter of legal discussion.

Mma Nasha knew she will need a vote from parliament. We hear from the legal experts that the constitution is bigger and supreme than the standing orders. If this is the case then it was unconstitutional to change the standing orders. If those who allowed and let this matter to take place in the national assembly were aware that it was constitutional then they were being criminal.

This was an astonishing election. Those who fell because the people said so. Those who are occupying particular seats of government are there because those who had an opportunity to exercise their democratic right allowed them to be there. Those who did not vote yet were qualified to vote should remain on the sidelines. That’s where they belong. They must desist from commenting or making any statements about a government they chose not to participate in shaping its structure and content. This is but just an opening line. Let me proceed to air my grievances to the opposition leadership. I apologise in advance that I will differ with most of my comrades.
