| Message | My party is currently has the Head of State, this seems like a fine proposal, in fact in makes sense, we will brood on this thought. |
| Date | 08:40:09, March 02, 2017 CET | From | Unity Labour Party | To | Debating the President as Head of Government Act (4173) |
| Message | What I'll urge members to propose ,is that at least for the President to serve always as a member of the cabinet and not necessarily have him as both head of state and government. Reason being is that my party strongly believes, it's unfair to a party that has majority seats in Parliament to be subservient or subordinate to the President, which then can result in those voters being under represented. |

| Message | The people placed confidence in the party to govern to which a leader, or first among equals is chosen from them to be Prime Minister. The President also still has a role to play by sending out messages and doing something similar as a diplomat. However I would urge that at least in that case he be made Minister of foreign affairs in that case but he should at least always be a member of cabinet |
