• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that we do not play games with this matter of critical national importance. I want to draw the attention of this House to the fact that, indeed, if you read this Report holistically and not selectively, you will find answers to the questions that the hon. Member has raised.

If you look at this Report, you will find that the Committee went into great lengths to look at all the issues touching on the suits ... view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, the hon. Member is absolutely out of order to purport to indicate that this is the Chairman’s Report. This is a Report of a Committee of this august House.

Member who is proposing this amendment did also appear before this Committee to express his views, the same views he is repeating here. view

He is completely upsetting the very delicate balance upon which this Report is anchored, especially with due regard to Standing Order No. 55(2), which reads:- “No amendment shall be permitted if in the opinion of the Speaker, it represents a direct negative of the Question proposed”. In my humble view, the hon. Member is attempting to camouflage his negative efforts in the language he is using. That is absolutely unacceptable. view

• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, before I raise anything further, I had invited you to make a ruling in terms of Standing Order No.55(2) which says: “No amendment shall be permitted, if in the opinion of the Speaker, it represents a direct negative of the Question proposed.” I am shocked that you are allowing this Debate to proceed before you respond to my concern. Further to that, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this amendment completely upsets the very essence of this Report. That is because what ... view
