• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been thinking about this issue and in particular, from the point of view of how to avoid a situation where the President is put in a situation where if he does something, he takes a certain line of action which is unconstitutional. I am wondering whether you have had enough consultations with the President, with your counterpart at the National Assembly and whether you have come to an understanding that before the President gives assent to any Bill, it should have your signature and the signature of the Speaker of the National Assembly. Both signatures ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I do support the spirit behind this amendment. But also taking into account what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has stated and also taking into account the way the whole thing has been drafted, nowhere in these regulations have we said that the Minister should be conferred with EGH or that somebody should be conferred with a particular or specific honour. It is not in the spirit of these regulations that we have that. Therefore, as much as I agree with your sentiments, I would prefer that you leave whether it is CGH or whatever else it is, do ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I am not misleading the House. All I am saying is that the way the regulations are drafted, nowhere are we saying that a Minister should get the EGH. Nowhere in these regulations are we saying that a Member of Parliament should get these bigger titles. That is left to tradition. Madam Temporary Chairperson, I do have an EGH, but let me guide my brother. Before I got the EGH, I was an Elder of the Burning Spear (EBS). I am one of the few people in this country who has got both EBS – which was ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, what I am saying is that this will develop as a tradition. I am quite sure that the Advisory Committee will take into account the traditions that have been established. I am quite sure that a tradition will emerge that the Senator should get this particular title and a Member of National Assembly (MNA) should get that particular title. What you require in these rules is what Sen. Billow has stated; that a Senator or a MNA who has served at least one term should be given a befitting title. Let us leave it to the Advisory ... view

• 28 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a very important Motion touching on the national security of this country and it deserves a proper hearing when there is complete silence and so on.
