Maseru, Aug. 04 — Although the National Assembly considered some amendments from the Senate to Tenth Amendment to the Constitution Bill, 2024 during its sitting on Monday, the House failed to continue with the amendments.
This, after the House engaged in lengthy debate on whether the above should be considered without a workshop which was supposed to be held on Sunday August 3, 2025 for Senators to clarify why it amended some clauses so that Members of Parliament could have a better understanding.
The argument was that, if the House continued with Senate amendments, there will have to be clarity of significance on decisions the House might take, adding that there might be a shortfall of the two thirds from both the upper and lower houses.
However, the Speaker of the National Assembly Mr. Tlohang Sekhamane argued that the House should continue with amendments as the Amendment Bill was passed to Senate with the two thirds majority. . .
