• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Just on procedure, the Chairman of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations was moving a deletion. When you move an amendment to delete, there is no amendment that you can do. You are deleting. Secondly, the Chairman requires notice to move an amendment, but the Minister does not require notice. So, it is possible that the Minister moves the amendment? view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we support that Committee, and this other Committee had a similar amendment; exactly the same. We believe if this is legislated, it will be contrary to the Constitution in terms of Parliament’s role in appropriating funds for expenditure by the national Government and other State organs, and by exercising oversight over national revenue and its expenditure. So, if the Chairlady is moving, we will withdraw ours so that we execute hers. view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think they are substantively the same, except for the addition of trade union official in the Defence Committee which is acceptable. So, I think it is better we withdraw ours so that that one can be debated on. view
