At What Stage Does A Senator Elect Become A Bbonsfide Senator? by citizenY(m): 10:35pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
The drama in the National assembly is about to throw us into another round of debacle I expect the legislators to be sworn in first to become full fledged lawmakers. Thereafter they could proceed to elect their leaders. You become a Senator first to qualify to be speaker or any leadership position . Were the senators elect that supposedly went to meet the president sworn in? If not c Could we say that we had a dull Senate, not to talk of a quorum at that session? Please , those who know better should enlighten us. |

citizenY: section 52 of the constitution answers your question as follows 52. (1) Every member of the Senate or the House of Representatives shall, before taking his seat, declare his assets and liabilities as prescribed in this Constitution and subsequently take and subscribe the Oath of Allegiance and the oath of membership as prescribed in the Seventh Schedule to this Constitution before the President of the Senate or, as the case may be, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, but a member may before taking the oaths take part in the election of a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, as the case may be, or a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. The reason for electing the senate president or the speaker first before swearing in is because it is the senate president or the speaker that can swear the member in |
