Prior to the National Assembly
inauguration, Eyes on the
Mandate featured a detailed article on the National Assembly
electioneering process. The article was a reflection of NASS guidelines of both chambers on the electoral
process which are enshrined in the Standing Orders of both Chambers. The
article was published on 9th June 2015 prior to the elections of the
leadership of the National Assembly,so
as to give citizens a view of the right process, when electing the Presiding Officers of the National Assembly. Therefore
looking back at the process adopted by the 8th Assembly one can rightfully
ascertain/say that the process was contrary to what is stipulated for in the Standing Order.
