Parliament sittings resume today for the fourth session after a two-month break, amid questions simmering on the implications of the court ruling rendered last week on who should hold the Majority position in the House.
Coming at a time when the country is running on a broad-based Government, arguments have been advanced that Parliament should not only be allowed to make its independent decisions but also, court rulings must be practical.
On Thursday October 6, 2022 Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang'ula made a ruling as the 13th Parliament commenced, which has seemingly had ripple effects, if the latest court decision is anything to go by.
In his ruling back then, Wetang'ula said it would be imprudent to treat 14 Members elected to the House under United Democratic Movement (UDM), Pamoja African Alliance (PAA), Maendeleo Chap Chap and Movement for Democratic Growth (MDG) as part of a coalition they expressly distanced both themselves and their parties from.
