Is impartiality in Parliament achievable?

DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane submitted the motion of no confidence in the Speaker for several reasons, including the levels of disruption in the fifth Parliament, and her failure to restore order in the House during the president’s question session when riot police were called in. Maimane said they also wanted the motion passed against Mbete because she served simultaneously as Speaker and chairperson of the ANC. Mr Luzuko Jacobs – Parliamentary Spokesperson.
