• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: But this Committee, by this recommendation, has dissolved the panel. I am asking the Members to--- view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The Committee does not know its own report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: My apologies, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for your protection. Recommendation No.2 states thus: “Fresh selection panel be constituted as per the Teachers Service Commission Act.” It is talking about a fresh selection panel. If we pass this, it means that a fresh selection panel shall be constituted and yet that is contrary to Section 8. I want hon. Members to be humble by reflecting and looking at that section. As we move forward, I hope this House shall not be embarrassed by recommending what this House is not able to recommend within the law. If the National Assembly rejects all the ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: That is the truth and I will say it. That is why this debate is not even being allowed. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the last point I was stating and I was hoping I would be heard by this House regards the general observations of the Committee. Observation No.1 states that the Committee observed that a list of seven nominees for the position of the Chairperson was forwarded to the President. They state that the Teachers Service Commission Section 8(6) was violated. I want to cite High Court Case Petition No.370 of 2013 in which the ruling was given on 22nd July, 2013. The High Court, through Justice Majanja, ordered that the selection panel’s list of nominees be included. The ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. This debate is being generated from the point of view that there is a letter from the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission that suggests that there is an investigation. I want to raise the issue that once this kind of a letter is written, in ordinary circumstances, when they want you not to get the job, they would be saying that there is a caution that this person should not be considered. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the letter has not given any caution to the Committee. It has not also said that there is any objection from the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission that this person should not get the job. Should we move the way we want to move that when a letter like this is issued, then that person automatically falls out from consideration, I think we shall not apply prudence, fairness and reasonability. These are standard letters that are issued by the EACC. Sometimes we know that these kinds of letters can be induced by persons who may have the ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. I want to add my voice to those who have said that what happened in this country in the 1990s was an economic depression, in my view. It is very much like what happened in the USA. Currently having about 20 institutions that have gone under, with no prospects of funds being paid back to the depositors, surely; we should look back and see how many businesses went under. People got sick. For sure, the economy of this country was largely affected by the disappearance of depositors’ ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I do not know what happens because even the criminal processes have not been able to assist. These amendments will curb some of these bad practices. If the protection we are seeking to introduce will be enhanced, then we should all support the amendments being proposed by the hon. Member. I think even the official receiver in this country has done very poorly because some of the institutions that have gone down have been entrusted with that office. We do not even get proper public reports and information is lacking. Most of the institutions are really under the watch of ... view
