In Summary

I oppose all those who have criticised the President’s address because he was very clear when he said that Parliament has its duties but even as it performs them, it should not interfere with the duties of the Police.

The President’s address on the death of MP Cerinah Nebanda continues to attract debate. Some Members of Parliament are of the view that the Executive as one of the organs of the government, is infringing on the rights of the Legislature. They argue that the Executive should respect the doctrine of separation of powers as enshrined in the 1995 Constitution.

I oppose all those who have criticised the President’s address because he was very clear when he said that Parliament has its duties but even as it performs them, it should not interfere with the duties of the Police.

I see no sense in recalling Parliament. Some politicians simply want to play cheap politics and attract media attention. This issue has exposed some legislators as ignorant.

This is evidenced by some MPs who are currently remonstrating that they signed the petition without first analysing what they were signing. There is no clearer exhibition of ignorance than signing a document without first analysing the contents of the document.
Each time parliament sits they have to get their fat allowances a thing personally I consider to be skulduggery on taxpayer.
