• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for people to go to court and say that if Parliament gives itself that kind of powers, we are emasculating out the rest of the reflection of society. I feel I do not agree with that ruling. It is unfortunate. We find ourselves in a unique situation where the Chairperson and two Commissioners have now left office. Therefore, we need to set up a Selection Panel to bring into place a constitutional Commission because we understand the urgency. If there was to be a by-election for whatever reason - and you know there are many petitions in ... view
• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: However, I go back to my point on Parliament being the nominating body. This is a political process. I expected Sen. Okiya Omtatah to have argued how the composition of the four members of the Selection Panel is a rider so that you have the shed of the country. Unfortunately, he is not here. This is because when Parliament is gathered like this, every form of political opinion in this country is reflected. view
• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is erroneous to argue that out of seven, if you give Parliament the power to nominate four, you have rewarded Parliament. You know, Sen. Okiya Omtatah presents us with a unique situation. Now, he seats in the Committee on Justice, Legal and Human Rights. I would have wanted to say this when he was here, but unfortunately, he is not with us. As a member of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human rights, he will sit with us.

• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: I have taken time to see the Report of the Committee that has been tabled here. There are various proposals some of which disturb me. Sen. Okiya Omtatah reduced the PSC from four to two. Now the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights want to reduce it from two to one. It will take a lot of convincing for me to agree wo that proposal that wants us to legislate ourselves out of work. Surely, how can one be a Member of Parliament and not believe we can rise above petty partisan politics and do that which is ... view

• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: I want to inform my good neighbour that it was the Committee that was proposing what you are talking about. It was reducing the slots of the Parliamentary Service Commission, a constitutional body of which you are a member from two to one slot. view

• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: In the morning, I argue against it on the same basis that you are arguing. The Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights has been convinced and since--- view
• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: My other good neighbour is distracting him. Allow me to have the full attention of my good neighbour, Sen. Omogeni. The Chair of Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights has since agreed with you in that position that the Parliamentary Service Commission needs two slots. He has therefore, withdrawn his amendment. view
