Moses Cheboi) in the Chair] PRAYERS Hon. Deputy Speaker: Hon. Members, you know it is not very easy now to confirm the quorum. That is because we also have to know the number of Members who are in other holding areas. So, we will allow a few more members to come in and then we can make the final confirmation. Order Members, it is now confirmed that we have the required quorum and, therefore, business will begin. COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR CHANGES IN THE MAJORITY PARTY LEADERSHIP Hon. Members, Standing Order 19(1) provides leeway for the largest party or coalition of parties in the National Assembly to elect a Member of the party or coalition of parties to serve as the Leader of the Majority Party. Further, Standing Order 19(3) outlines the procedure for removal of a Leader of the Majority Party. In this regard, Hon. Members, and pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 19(4), I wish to inform the House that I have received a letter from the Majority Party Chief Whip communicating that the Jubilee Coalition held a Parliamentary Group meeting on June 22nd, 2020 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). The letter also conveys that, the Meeting, which comprised of Members of the Coalition in the National Assembly and chaired by the Party Leader, His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces – (i) removed Hon.

  • THE BARISAN NASIONAL II Chedet.Co.Cc September 22, 2008 by Dr
    THE BARISAN NASIONAL II Chedet.co.cc September 22, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. When the Barisan Nasional did very badly in the March 2008 general elections, all the component parties except those in Sabah and Sarawak experienced losses as they had never done before. 2. In the aftermath of the elections, the component parties pointed accusing fingers at each other. Very quickly they were at each other's throats. 3. There were talks about leaving the BN. And now we are seeing the first party to do so and to become an independent party. 4. Where before all parties avoided raising sensitive issues in public, now in the name of democracy and liberalism sensitive issues are brought up in which the component parties of the BN make known the differences in their view. The result is to widen the divide separating the BN component parties. 5. When Ahmad Ismail made unpalatable remarks about the Chinese, it was made out that it was the view of UMNO itself. Far from denying it, the UMNO leadership accepted the blame and apologised. This solved nothing as the Chinese parties refused to accept the apology but demanded the culprit himself should apologise. 6. He refused and UMNO whose president heads the Government suspended Ahmad for three years. This may satisfy some Chinese but almost immediately the Government arrested a Chinese MP under ISA. The effects of Ahmad's suspension have been nullified. 7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.

  • Legal Systems in Asean – Singapore Chapter 3 – Government and the State
    Government and the State LEGAL SYSTEMS IN ASEAN – SINGAPORE CHAPTER 3 – GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE THIO Li-ann* A. INTRODUCTION: THE ADOPTION OF A MODIFIED VARIANT OF THE WESTMINSTER PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM Upon attaining independence on 9 August 1965 after peacefully seceding from the Federation of Malaysia, Singapore retained a legal system that is essentially based on the British legal system, a colonial legacy, importing the common law and the Westminster model of parliamentary government, with some notable modifications, including a written constitution. Article 4 declares that the Constitution “is the supreme law of the Republic of Singapore”; hence any legislation which is inconsistent with the Constitution is void, to the extent of that inconsistency. The Westminster model of representative democracy is predicated on a bipartisan or multi-party system, where the ultimate political check resides in the ability of an opposition party to defeat the incumbent government at general elections and form an alternative government. This check of political turnover is absent in Singapore as the ruling party has a dominant majority in Parliament. B. PRINCIPLES OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT Separation of Powers Singapore has a unicameral Parliament which currently has 84 elected seats. 82 of these seats are held by the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) while the other 2 are held by Chiam See Tong (Singapore People’s Party) and Low Thia Khiang (Worker’s Party). Government is based on a variant of the separation of powers principle, organised around the familiar trichotomy of powers: the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. Unlike the UK Parliament, the Singapore Parliament is a body constituted under, and deriving powers from, the Constitution.

  • Whips and Party Cohesion in the Ontario Legislature
    ‘Just try to keep them happy’: Whips and party cohesion in the Ontario Legislature By Craig Ruttan 2011-12 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 Phone: 416-325-0040 craig.ruttan@gmail.com www.olipinterns.ca DRAFT: Do not cite without permission of the author. Paper presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Edmonton, Alberta. Friday June 15, 2012. 1 Introduction Among the various leadership roles within a party caucus, few are less well understood than that of the whip. Party whips are often unknown in the public, rarely sit in their party’s front bench, and are seldom quoted in the media. In addition, very little academic literature exists on the roles and functions of the office. When discussion of a whip does arise, it is usually about the imposition of sanctions on another member for disobeying a whipped vote. Because of this, whips are perceived as the secret enforcers of party discipline, threatening and bullying members into following the party line. While maintaining party cohesion is a prime objective for whips, the role is much more complex than has been presented. This paper explores the dynamics of the whip within the broader context of party politics in the Ontario Legislature. Drawing on the existing literature, personal interviews, and experiential research, I identify the characteristics of the whip’s office unique to Queen’s Park and, more specifically, the current parliament wherein no party holds a majority of seats. This paper focuses on two questions: how a whip’s role is affected by organizational structures and minority government, and to what extent whips are able to maintain party cohesion.

  • The Role of Public Interest Litigation In
    The Role of Public Interest Litigation in Promoting 58 Good Governance in Malaysia and Singapore (2004) XXXIII No 1 THE ROLE OF PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION IN PROMOTING GOOD GOVERNANCE IN MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE* ROGER TAN KOR MEE** SUMMARY: In this paper, a two-case study is undertaken on public interest litigation in the promotion of good governance in Malaysia and Singapore. As public interest litigation is a branch of administrative law which involves judicial review of administrative actions, it has a pivotal role to play in an administrative state particularly in the promotion of good governance. Initiated by citizens who may not be directly affected by the administrative acts, such public interest litigants are often frowned upon by the executive as meddlesome busybodies. This makes them a thorn in the executive’s side, and various obstacles were placed in the way by the executive to stymie the growth of public interest litigation. However, it was judicial self-restraint that brought the growth of public interest litigation in Malaysia to a grinding halt. In Government of Malaysia v Lim Kit Siang, the Malaysian Supreme Court took a restrictive approach to the rules of standing. But that does not mean that public-spirited individuals and non-governmental organisations should lose heart. On the contrary, they should persevere and continue to resort to public interest litigation so that it affords an opportunity for the courts to liberalise the current restrictive standing criteria. On the other hand, the absence of public interest litigation in Singapore presupposes that Singapore has a good public administration. Public interest litigation therefore promotes good governance in public administration.

    Akademika 81(1) 2011: 23-37 Framing of the 2008 Malaysian General Election Results by the English Language Press Pembingkaian Keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum Malaysia 2008 oleh Akhbar Bahasa Inggeris CHAI MING HOCK & ADNAN HUSSEIN ABSTRAK Keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum 2008 telah digelar sebagai ‘tsunami politik’ oleh pelbagai pihak. Dalam pilihan raya tersebut Barisan Nasional (BN) telah kehilangan majoriti simbolik dua-pertiga Parlimen. Dalam pada itu, parti-parti pembangkang secara kolektifnya berjaya mengawal dewan undangan negeri di lima buah negeri. Pada masa lalu, pilihan raya di Malaysia menjadi satu urusan yang terjangka dengan adanya capaian mudah BN kepada media, wang dan jentera kerajaan. Media cetak Malaysia memberi liputan positif dan menyeluruh kepada Barisan Nasional dalam tempoh sebelum hari mengundi. Bagaimana pula media cetak menjelaskan dan mentafsir keputusan pilihan raya yang tidak terjangka ini – teruk kepada BN mengikut piawaian politik Malaysia? Makalah ini membincangkan bagaimana media membingkaikan keputusan pilihan raya, faktor yang membawa kepada keputusan tersebut, serta mencari makna kepada persekitaran politik Malaysia. Kajian ini penting kerana media massa memainkan peranan penting dalam menentukan kerangka rujukan yang digunakan oleh pembaca untuk menafsirkan sesuatu kejadian atau isu. Makalah ini membincang pembingkaian keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum 2008 oleh akhbar bahasa Inggeris. Kutipan data melibatkan tiga akhbar bahasa Inggeris di Malaysia dengan analisis ke atas berita dan komentar, termasuk berita, rencana, lidah pengarang dan surat kepada editor dari hari mengundi pada 8hb Mac sehingga kepada hari pembentukan Kabinet baru Malaysia. Kata kunci: Malaysia, Pilihan Raya Umum, 2008, akhbar bahasa Inggeris, pembingkaian ABSTRACT Various observers heralded the 2008 Malaysian General Election as the ‘political tsunami’.
