• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: The essence of this is basically to correct a drafting error in the Bill. If you look at the Bill, it inserts a New 2 (a) and retains the 2 in the Principal Act. So, we will end up with two provisions in the same Act. It is just for purposes of tidying it up. First of all, by deleting (b) then moving what was in the Bill as 2 (b) to now (b) and we delete (c). It is purely tidying up. I have already explained the rationale. We explained in the Second stage. This also means that when ... view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: This is so that the Political Parties’ Fund stops being a kitty for the ‘big boys’ and ‘big girls’ and becomes a kitty for every party. This is a clean-up exercise because as it is, we will end up with two conflicting provisions within the law. I beg to move and seek the support of everyone across the divide. view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed. I moved both because the current (c) is what I am moving to (b) and so (c) becomes otiose and we delete it. view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose the amendment by Hon. Mbarire and to explain to Members what this clause means. Section 31(2) reads: “(2) A political party shall within three months after the end of a financial year submit to the Auditor-General the accounts of the political party in respect of that year. (3) The accounts of every political party shall be audited annually by the Auditor- General and shall be submitted to the Registrar and tabled in the National Assembly.” We know that when you submit your accounts to the Auditor-General, it is only for one purpose: ... view

• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 20 (c) of the Bill be amended in the proposed new paragraph (fe) by inserting the words “upon the request and financing by the political party” immediately after the word “agent”.

It will not be mandatory for him or her to train all agents to avoid disputes coming in that they were trained wrongly. If the political parties request for training and then they finance ... view
