• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do recall that when we were doing this the last time, the issue of six months was brought to this very House. That you need six months for political parties to give their nomination rules, for the Registrar of Political Parties and the IEBC and for the members themselves to know the rules under which the nominations will be held so that people do not end up with nomination rules being presented on one day, the nominations are the next day and then people are rigged out through the political parties because of the rules. ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to let the House know that what hon.

If we pass Section 28 without passing Section 29, we will have a contradiction within the same Act. So, I would rather you withdraw it and then we look at it and if need be--- view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree. If need be, we could always come back and amend this between now and the elections. But for now, let us not get contradictory amendments that will then force us into a situation where we are challenged legally. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is in the Constitution. Besides that, Section 29(1) of the Election Act says very clearly view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee doth report progress and seek leave to sit again tomorrow. As you note, we only have five minutes to midnight. We cannot sit again past midnight because the day will have ended and the permission we sought earlier from the House will have expired and we need the five minutes to actually do some reporting to the main House and then to get permission so that we can continue with this tomorrow in the morning. view
