• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we propose the deletion of part (4), first, so that we do not start with antagonism between the two institutions and secondly, both of them have very clear functions. The functions of the Commission are very clear under the Constitution and you might not be able to limit it just to policy. The functions of the Secretary and the Secretariat are clearly listed in the next section and you will see this when we get there. This is very elaborate that we do not need to bring Subclause 4. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, first of all, the Commission is the commissioners and that is the legal body. It is not the Secretariat. The Committee debated this very seriously, and there were both views expressed very strongly. In fact, that is why you see quite a number of our Members, because they were of the view that we should not have deleted it. But ultimately, we came to that conclusion. view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, if he says: “Following the deletion then replace with or insert the following”; I have no problem with that. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I, therefore, withdraw the amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, may I seek some clarification? Sorry for taking you back, but in Clause 5, I had proposed two amendments. I did withdraw an amendment to Clause 5(4), but there was an earlier one on Clause 5(1) which had to do with inserting Article 250(4) after the words “in accordance with the Constitution.” view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: If that is the case, then--- view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, with your indulgence, I read the first and second parts of the proposed amendment. What I did withdraw was the deletion of subclause (4). view
