Parliament resumes today for its fourth session after a two-month break, amid questions on the implications of last week’s court decision on who should hold the Majority position in the House.

With political coalitions now evolving into a broad-based Government, there are arguments that Parliament should be allowed to make independent decisions, while court rulings must be practical.

The debate over who holds the majority in the House seemed to end on October 6, 2022, when Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula made a ruling as the 13th Parliament commenced. However, this decision appears to have had ripple effects, if the latest court decision is anything to go by.
