26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, last week when you were away, this matter of the Private Members’ Bills was also on the Floor after I read the Communication from the House Business Committee. It is a great concern that we need to tell Members to forget about these Motions of urging and bring substantive Bills that will amend the existing laws; that Wednesday morning becomes a serious morning. The Speaker gave a ruling and through you, we will pick up and give more direction maybe on Tuesday. On the issue of the Supplementary Order Paper, it is within the Standing Orders that ...

26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Finally, the way we deal with Government related Bills, a schedule must be kept by the Clerk’s office showing a tracking system of where a Private Member’s Bill is, so that we can know whether the Bill is at the Legal Department or at the Budget and Appropriations Committee, so that at the end of the day, we do not have a blame game. We should know where the Bill is stuck and Members are given the reason why that Bill is not moving.

26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I have said, the production of the Supplementary Order Paper is within the Standing Orders but, of course, the matter of reorganization had something to do with the Chairpersons of the Committees handling those Bills. Just like we are going to address the issue of Private Members’ Bills in the next House Business Committee (HBC), in the last HBC we agreed that Chairpersons of Committees will also get written expression from the Office of the Clerk in a week’s time to show that next week their Bills will be on the Order Paper. Secondly, hon. Members ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think my good friend hon. Makali did not hear me. Where I made a reference to the Chair, from where she sits is as far as the office of the Clerk and Parliament staff are concerned. Where it concerns Chairpersons, of course, apart from communication from the HBC and the Clerk, I am very competent to deal with the Chairpersons of the coalition. I have no doubt that they are up to task and they must perform. When you become a Chair, you are not better than other Members; you have only been given a privilege ...

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. When you were away last week, the Speaker gave a directive that hon. Members should read the Statement as signed by the Speaker or the Deputy, but he has gone into other things.

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
I want your direction given that this is a serious investigative matter as it would require the Committee to call the IEBC, university senate, management, police, the student leadership and the political parties involved. I think this question should go to the relevant oversight Committee of Education, Research and Technology so that they can bring a report. Your ruling and that of the hon. Speaker was on a matter of national importance. But this is a matter that needs a report to be tabled here with a recommendation. I will ask your direction that this goes to a Committee of ...

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for that very good direction. I will consult with the Committee on Education, Research and Technology, the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Committee on Administration and National Security. We will sit and bring a report to the House in a month’s time.
