• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am quite sure that, that process is being followed. I also draw the attention of the Senate to the fact that the Judicial Service Commission Act, whose amendment had the effect of giving three names to the appointing authority, out of whom he will appoint one, was declared unconstitutional. Consequently, in accordance with the Constitution, the President, in appointing the Chief Justice and the Deputy Chief Justice, shall do so on the recommendation of the JSC. In other words, there is no intermediary between that recommendation and the appointment by the hon. Chief Justice. I am ... view

• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I can see that the Senate Deputy Majority Leader and the Chief Whip are already talking across each other. That is a type of behaviour that we do not want to see in this House. We are Senators and statesmen, but not--- view

• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Murkomen whom I respect quite much and I can confirm is an advocate with 10 years’ experience in the profession. When he has done 15 years and if he behaves that way, the Chairman of the Senior Counsel may consider him becoming a senior counsel. However, I am surprised that he is shouting across to another very senior lady advocate. In fact, one of the most senior lady advocates we have in this country. view

• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you consult, you should do it quietly when you are very close to the other person. I would have expected him to go near and consult.

• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was present at this Committee together with the other Senators. It is true that what happened there is terrible and shameful because although it happens in the chambers of other parliaments, we do not expect it to happen in the Senate. However, blame must go where it lies. I do not want us to be directly or indirectly perceived that this matter was caused by Senators in that Committee as a whole. That is the impression that we are giving. I also do not want the impression to go out that maybe the Committee was not ... view
