And, finally, tonight, we have one more bit from yesterday's house sitting.

Speaking on the adjournment, the PUP's Cayo South Rep Julius Espat lamented the long absence of Gaspar Vega, the UDP's Rep for Orange Walk North. 

Vega hasn't been to a house meeting in years.  Espat said, do your job!:

The house Standing Orders state, quote, "any Member  is absent from the House for more than six consecutive sittings occurring  during  the  same  Session, and  within a  period  of not longer  than three calendar months, such Member shall vacate  his seat in the House."

End quote.  The little caveat here are those six consecutive sessions during the same session -  which never happens.
