• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The Order Paper reads “approve or reject.” I want to remove “or reject” so that it reads “consider and approve the project agreement within thirty days.” It should be 30 days instead of the 90 days that appear on the Order Paper. So, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after clause 59- Approval by National Assembly of National Government Projects. 59A. (1) The contracting authority shall submit a copy of the public private partnership agreement, the project financial and risk assessment reports to the National Assembly.

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: My basis of this amendment is simple. All these public private partnerships, as I have alluded to earlier, involves public assets. Members of the National Assembly are the ones, under Article 94 of the Constitution, who have been given powers to represent the people. These same people are the taxpayers who will take care of the costs of many of these projects. What I am asking is that at least in every PPP agreement that is entered into, as MPs, through our respective Departmental Committees, we have an opportunity to interrogate those PPPs. view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I was saying that the basis is just that the National Assembly, being the people’s representative, needs to have an opportunity to interrogate these PPP agreements. If we were in other countries, these agreements would be good to pass as they are where public scrutiny of agreements is open. I have stated without any fear of contradiction that we are in a country where State capture by the Executive is not imagined. It is real. There is actual State capture. Many of the PPP agreements that come into effect are agreements that are designed not for the benefit of the ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I really want to beg, as I move, that we look into this issue devoid of emotions and politicking. We know where to politic if we want to. But, look at our role as MPs or as the people’s representatives and our oversight role as a House. I beg to move. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I said we remove that one because it is now moribund since 21A fell. That is why I am renumbering. view
