The priorities of the 13th august House seems to have taken the all well-trodden path by those before it. One would have expected our 'Waheshimiwas' to take time to reflect on the wishes of their employers and appreciate the immediate pressing issues during their one-week induction at Safari Park Hotel.
On the brighter side, it was refreshing to see them stay through for the entire week almost full house as per the media coverage of the proceedings. I have no recollection of former Parliaments having such inductions. Besides, it is an open secret that majority rarely have the patience to engage in sessions, both in Parliament or outdoor events beyond appending their signatures for the sitting allowances.
