The handling of the National Assembly affairs has triggered a storm on the neutrality of speaker Moses Wetang’ula in regards to discussing a stranger in the House. Discussing the conduct of a member or a colleague from another house requires a substantive motion as per the Standing Orders. The events in the National Assembly where lawmakers tore into the two leaders without a substantive motion have raised questions over the sanctity of the House. Speaker Wetang’ula should guide the House on account of neutrality,” he urged. Mr Wetang’ula, however, clarified that the House was not discussing the conduct of the DP but the facilitation of the office.
