NATIONAL CONFAB: Live Updates From The Second Day Plenary - PremiumTimes
Read from bottom to top. 17:55 At the rate the Conference is going, it is impossible to finish discussion on the Rules today. Order 9 which provides that leaders of delegation would speak on behalf of each of the delegation was criticized by a delegate who insisted that the floor should be open for all delegates to speak on any issue they feel strongly about. Order 9 (3) also came under scrutiny by a delegate who argued that every delegate who has an issue to raise should be allowed to do so through a motion. Mr. Chairman said Section 39 of the Constitution guarantees the right to Freedom of Expression and the Rules will violate the rights of the delegates. After an exhaustive debate, the Chairman put the question and Rules 1 and 2 contained in Order 9 were deleted from book.
