Deputy Speaker John Simon

House to vote on amendment of National and LLG elections in next sitting

The second reading to change the nomination fee for intending candidates in the 2017 National Elections from K1,000 to K10,000 was passed by Parliament today. 

Despite calling by the Opposition bench in the chamber for a debate, the O’Neill- Dion Government flexed its numerical muscle to pass the OLPLLG without amendment.

Sir Puka Temu was the only government minister who voted for more time to debate the proposal for legislative changes.
