23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
On the function of legislation, Chapter 13 of the Constitution talks about amendments to the Constitution. Hon. Ababu was an able chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs in the last Parliament. The Bill we are discussing today, under the presidential system of government, is a product of the National Assembly. It was after receiving the signature of the Speaker that it went for printing. More fundamentally, Bills that come to this House do not originate from the gullies of River Road. They neither originate from offices of the Executive nor from political parties. The Constitution is ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I cannot give tutorial to this House. It is not my business. I do not give tutorials. I do not give training. I do not give tutorials, but when it becomes apparent that some people want to circumvent the Constitution, we are free to give tutorials to hon. Members where we have our tea and at the bar, and not on the Floor of this House. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker.

On Tuesday next week, the 23rd July, 2013, it is expected that the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology will table its report to the House on the vetting of the nominees to the Teachers Service Commission and also give notice of Motion for consideration of that report.

18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
On Wednesday next week or the week after, the House may also consider the VAT Bill, 2013 and the Finance Bill, 2013, for Second Reading. The House may also continue with debate on the Motions proposed by the Members. I wish to thank the Members across the political divide for speedily understanding the need to commence their own pieces of legislation. In this regard, before we proceed on recess and even after we come back, this House has a number of Bills to consider. Most of the Bills emanate from the Membersâ initiative. This will, therefore, gradually reduce the number ...

18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with hon. Mbadi, but the Constitution is very clear that a Commission like the CIC has two aspects. The extinction of that Commission is based on the finishing of the legislation which is constitutionally bound for five years. I totally agree that these Commissions want to extend their lives by delaying Bills. It must come out very clearly that Parliament is ready, has all the time and the Committees are ready. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want you to direct the CIOC to call these Commissions and expedite these Bills because we have a Committee ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, we are waiting for the Senate to provide the list. The Committee will be formed once that is done. Hon. Sakaja is one of the serious contenders for the chairmanship of that Committee. I am sure he will address all the hon. Memberâs issues once he becomes the Chair of that Committee.
