• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.36(4), I would like to make this Statement with regard to business for next week. As hon. Members will have noted, next week is our final week in this Parliament, hence we have limited time. We will be attempting to complete all the work that is pending before the House before the close of next week. On the Order Paper for today, we have identified all the urgent Bills that need to be completed before we go. Basically, whatever is not completed today is what will continue into next week.

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, when I talk of the business on the Order Paper, I am looking at the two Order Papers. We have the original Order Paper and the Supplementary Order Paper. Any business that appears on those is what we have identified must be completed. We have The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Bill, for example, which was supposed to be done yesterday, but hon. Ethuro was not here. The ST and I, TVET and all those Bills that have gone through the Second Reading must go through the Third Reading. Obviously, I am very happy to ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that any Bill that is in the Order Paper is as important as any other. This is because we have looked at all those Bills and we believe that with some amount of dedication, this House should be able to complete all of them. If we cannot, then it is a point of saying: Which one do we leave out? But at this point, I am not quite convinced that we do not have the time and the energy to go through these Bills. Some are very simple and may take even 20 ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am not insulated from the pressures of the elections myself. I have been in this House literally every day for the last three years. I should be feeling the pressure more than hon. Members who have all the time to get out there and come back. However, we have business to transact. Your voters will elect you for doing business in the House and not necessarily being on the election campaign trail. That is because you are being paid for doing business in the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have looked ... view

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In terms of all the business appearing on the Order Paper, I want to appeal to hon. Members that we should not belittle any of the business because we have gone through it. There is none that is not necessary for this country between now and March and between now and the time the next Parliament sits to pass any law. Let us make progress. Let us see what we can do. If we can do all, so be it. If we cannot do all, then we will still have done--- view

We have a lot of work to do. As hon. Members have expressed, yes, there is anxiety, but we are going to finish everything. We are pleading with the House that--- view
