Editorial: When a Speaker acts as a gatekeeper

In late 1960, Philip Landy, considered a Commonwealth authority on parliamentary law and procedure, wrote that the prestige of the Office of the Speaker of the House of Commons is “hardly less exalted than that of the Sovereign herself”. “The independence of the chair is the guarantee of the rights of minorities and it is considered imperative that the high standards of fairness and impartiality which have come to be associated with the speakership of the House of Commons should be perpetually emphasised. Everything possible is done, therefore, to maintain and enhance the dignity of the office,” he added. Anġlu Farrugia was just five at the time and, thus, too young to comprehend the significance of what Landy meant. But he is now 66, practised law for 21 years and has occupied the speaker’s chair of the Maltese parliament – modelled on the House of Commons – since 2013.

Overlapping Functions Bane Of Security Challenges In Nigeria —Official

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, Director-General, National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), says overlapping functions remain a significant problem encountered by Nigerian security agencies. Sulaiman said this during a National Security Legislative Reform Retreat for Leadership, Chairmen of Committees on Security and Sponsors of Security Bill of the House of Representatives on Friday in Lagos. Sulaiman said that absence of robust intelligence gathering and analysis mechanism as well as overlapping functions remained a significant problem encountered by security agencies. He noted that overlaps in function were often necessary and desirable but could lead to misunderstanding and outright conflict if not properly managed.
