• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: company “X” developing an oil field at a point where they are asking to get duty waivers on machines or on income waivers; issues that will jeopardise the country if it is left at a negotiation level. I have problems with bringing a detailed transaction between a proponent and the Government to the House especially when they are at a very small-scale.

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended by inserting the following new item in the proper alphabetical sequence— Forests Excision or change of boundaries of gazetted public forests or nature reserves.

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: the component of Article 71 of the Constitution, which is about ratification. So, the decision is very simple. We can shelve the entire Bill because every single item in this schedule is covered in a Bill that has either been passed by Parliament or is pending. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: If we remove crude oil, then we need to get rid of the entire Bill because everything else under this schedule is covered by an Act of Parliament. So, the argument does not hold. I was only listening to the approval plan issue – that it could be premature to do it at the development plan stage. Removing crude oil from the schedule would be promoting opaqueness and fighting transparency in the extractive industry. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: For that reason, I do not support. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to propose an amendment to the transactions requiring parliamentary approval, under crude oil and natural gas, by deleting the words appearing after “natural gas” and substituting therefor the words “at the earliest possible opportunity.” view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the agreement we have reached with Hon. Jamleck is that we delete the words “following approval of the development plan” and substitute therefor the words “at the production sharing contract.” view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We propose to delete the words “following approval of the development plan” and replace with the words “at production sharing contract.” view
