• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: A Report has just been tabled here. Members have not even seen it. But it appears that there are Members that are privy to even the contents of that Report before the rest of the House and even know who has been excluded. It means they have been discussing this Report with outsiders even before it has come to the House and that is why they are agitating for certain interests to be included in the Report even before Members of the House have seen it. Can those Members declare the interest that they have and the passion they have ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had risen earlier on a point of order because I realized that, perhaps, there were conflicts of interest that were not being declared. But be that as it may, the issue we have here is: A Bill was introduced in this House through First Reading. It has not been placed in the Order Paper for it to be read a Second Time, but we have already started debating it. The Report of the Committee is only reacting to a Bill that was committed before them. The Committee is not reacting to a decision to privatize ... view

Let us wait. We are anticipating debate. We are already debating because we have information that other Members do not have. When you look at the Report, which I have been perusing through, there is a whole list of stakeholders who appeared before the Committee. Others sent their memoranda. The fact that somebody’s memorandum has not been accepted in total does not mean they did not participate. It ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I empathise with the Members in terms of the frustration they get in getting answers at the right time.

So, a Member has an opportunity to interrogate the answer directly. The Statement is read on the Floor of the House and the Chair may not be able to have all the background information to answer all the questions. That is ... view
