Printed by Order of the House
Absent with leave
Hon Mombeshora, Hon Mangena
- The Speaker informed the House that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) is inviting Members to a briefing on the mandate of ZEC, phases of the electoral process and other issues pertaining to its mandate. The meeting will be held in the House of Assembly on Thursday 29th November 2012 at 0900
- THE SPEAKER: I have to announce that yesterday during the debate on the motion for leave to bring in a Finance Bill, Hon Mangami raised a point of order that there was no quorum in the House. The Chair ordered that bells be rung in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order number 27(1). After the bells had rung for four minutes, the Chair allowed Hon Mangami to withdraw her point of order and debate on the motion resumed. The house then proceeded to dispose of the motion and Order number 6 on the Order Paper.
The Chair has since reflected on these proceedings in context of the provisions of the Constitution and Standing Order number 27(1). It is the ruling of the Chair that the point of order should have been sustained to its logical conclusion which is to ascertain whether or not there was a quorum. Standing Orders made in terms of the Constitution do not permit the withdrawal of the attention to the absence of a quorum which is itself a constitutional requirement.
The Chair, therefore, rules that, in terms of section 54 (2) of the Constitution as read with s.o 27, the bells should have rung for 7 minutes during which period no question or debate shall be permitted as the Chair has no discretion.
Consequently, the Chair further rules that the proceedings on the motion for leave to bring in a Finance Bill and the subsequent proceedings in Committee of Supply as well as those relating to the Appropriation Bill are null and void and are hereby restored to the Order Paper.
Accordingly the motion on the Finance Bill shall resume as an adjourned debate and the Committee of Supply shall start from the beginning.
The debate on leave to bring in a bill becomes today’s Order no 1 and Committee of Supply Order no 6 with the other orders renumbered accordingly.
- Adjourned debate on motion that leave be granted to bring in a Finance Bill
