• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I am compelled to oppose this Bill so that we can open the door for the Government Bill to come to the House. We want to give hon. Members opportunities to then discuss it within the framework of public participation. I also undertake that I will be looking at this Bill because there are one or two items that are positive. I promise to pick them and incorporate them within our Bill at the appropriate Committee stage. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to clarify one or two things. The first one is that, the time we are seeking for to sit tomorrow is not to discuss the Vote on Account in the morning but to complete the discussion on the Public Financial Management Bill which has a bearing including on how we then sort out the budgeting cycles. It will be very desirous of us, once we have done that, because we will help even in terms of moving forward in the Budget process. The second thing is obviously that we have cut short our programme ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think it is important for the House to appreciate one fact, that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill has been brought to amend specific pieces of legislation that were thought important to amend at some particular point in time. Now, since its publication a number of things have been overtaken by events, including within view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was not anticipating any debate. I was explaining the rationale for removal of some of the amendments. This is a Government Bill; the Government brought these amendments because at that time it was felt that there was need to amend certain laws. Since then that need has been overtaken by events, and now the decision is to bring here a comprehensive Bill--- view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, it is important that the hon. Members appreciate that when this amendment was brought in this House – and it is important to use institutional memory – it was the deal breaker in terms of the passage of the Sexual Offences Act. This is because the Sexual Offences Act came with some very severe penalties and handling of people who have been accused and the hon. Members said that we are exposing either men or women to anyone they disagree with. There was even the issue of chemical castration. As a result, when we sat in ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let us have this Act staying as it is, because so far, we have been deterred from giving false information and nobody has been denied the opportunity to actually do what he is supposed to do. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I was making my point and I am happy that we know that this law was passed by this very House and it is with the wisdom with this House that we are now challenging it. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Just so that hon. Members appreciate, I believe the amendment that has been brought by the Attorney-General is trying to fill in a gap that we did not provide for when we passed the National Cohesion and Integration Act. Just for the information of hon. Members, Section 19 reads as follows:- “The chairperson and the commissioners shall hold office for a term of three years and shall be eligible for reappointment for a one further term of three years.” What is missing is how this reappointment will be done for it to be effective. view
