• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is complex as I have said before. Every time we think that we have resolved it, something else comes up. I am hoping that we will get an update this evening, at the rise of the House, after which I can authoritatively tell the House when the matter can be resolved. However, I would like the House to bear with us as we try to wade through the political intrigues of this Committee and, hopefully, within the next week or so, we would have ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- Whereas the provisions of Section 45B(5) (c) of the former Constitution as saved by Section 3(2) of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution provides that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) shall have power to provide such services and facilities as are necessary to ensure efficient and effective functioning of the Parliament, and noting that the PSC during its meeting held on 15th November, 2011 resolved that in order to streamline provision of catering and health services, a committee be formed to take over and be responsible for provision ... view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a straightforward matter. Members have expressed concerns about the twin issues of the Health Club and Catering Committee. The PSC has responded by coming up with this Committee that would take over the current arrangement and provide more focused services to the Membership.

• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a straightforward Motion. It is a procedural matter; I do not need to belabour the point. I would like to urge the House to approve the formation of the Committee. We should endorse these Members of this Committee, so that we give them the task to manage these facilities on behalf of the Members. view

• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it has been determined before that the Whips could speak from the Dispatch Box. They have been doing so before. So, I will give the same assurance that I have seen it happen before. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will need to consult on that matter. view
• 29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why the Private Members’ Bills appear as what would ordinarily be Government Bills is that we thought that hon. Members have done a lot of work in drafting those Bills, and that they need to be shared with the rest of the House.
