• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: (ii) The Motion on the approval of the appointment of two members of the Parliamentary Service Commission, whose Notice of Motion was moved this afternoon. Hon. Members will recall that, that Motion was deferred during the last Session. I wish to call upon hon.

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I wish to remind hon. Members that the Budget cycle has begun and the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee issued a Statement to this House yesterday, outlining the process of the Budget Policy Statement and the timelines for meeting certain demands. Further, the Budget and Appropriations Committee has been considering the Supplementary Estimates 2013/2014, taking into consideration the views of Departmental Committees.

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Appropriation Bill. I, therefore, wish to urge Committees to prioritize issues of the Budget because of their strict deadlines. Hon.

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Affirmative Social Development Bill is as important as many other Bills that come to this House. This Bill is with the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the single reason that it is a money Bill. The Chairman of that Committee has to get concurrence of the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury. However, I want to inform my good colleagues that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has said that he has now talked to the Cabinet Secretary and they have agreed. It will leave that Committee and head to my Office or the Speaker’s ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the outset, this is the same Committee that was formed on the First Session of the House and per the Standing Orders just like the House Business Committee (HBC), we are mandated to bring it back for approval of the House. Members of this Committee were asking me the whole of the last Session how come we had not had a session. I told them that this Committee is to deal with you hon. Members; those who misbehave at the lounge, in the bar, in the Chamber, in the offices and I am sure beginning the Second ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this very important Bill. On the outset, the definition given to the institution of marriage, being a voluntary union between a man and a woman is the first strength of this particular Bill. I want to say that because our Constitution is very clear, we are a nation that believes in God. This is in our Constitution. In the books that we believe in, both the Quran and the Bible, particularly the Quran-- Indeed, I can speak about the Quran, which is in agreement with this particular Bill. It says that ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: marriage has been very uniquely acknowledged in this Bill. The Kadhis have been given a chance to administer these particular marriages in all levels, even at village levels and ensure that these institutions are registered. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not need to say much about this Bill, other than say that it recognizes marriages that are customary, of religious nature and it takes the issue of consent of the person in marriage. In some cultures, there is a problem of forced marriages, where daughters are forced to be married. This is not allowed under this particular Bill, and it ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the problem is the staff of Parliament. I was to table both the one for CDF and National Construction Authority. I have the copies in my office, but they usually put it here. So, it is failure on the part of the Office of the Clerk. view
