• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in terms of procedure, we had agreed. If you look at the Resolution of the House which is on the Order Paper, in a Bill, it is the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Chairperson of that Committee who should go first.

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: it at length in the Committee. First of all, part of this clause was there initially in the Bill which was introduced in the House.

Under Clause 15 of this Bill, there is the Senior Deputy Auditor-General whose roles have been specified there. When we considered this in the Committee, we said that instead of all these ... view
