• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have sat here and have been checking the mood in this House. I had imagined as a Whip that we will comfortably conclude this matter within the required time. Members should know that if we do not make a decision either way, the Commission stands appointed. As a House, it is important that we make our decision in good time so that it is recorded. Therefore, I request Members to support this Procedural Motion so that we can conclude on this matter. Since we are discussing a Report from the Finance Committee, I move and request the ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that buildings in more than 100 Government secondary schools in the country have been torched this year, with many of the arson incidents being blamed on students; further aware that learning in many of these schools has been severely interfered with thus affecting the learning timetable; noting that the number of students arrested for allegedly burning or conspiring to burn school buildings around the country now stands at over 150; cognisant that these students are aged below 18 and are thus juvenile offenders; further cognisant that ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: delinquency trends tend to lead to adult crime and thereby a lifelong criminal career if not managed appropriately; this House resolves that the National Government puts in place administrative measures to ensure that child offenders are not remanded or incarcerated in adults’ remand; and strengthens the existing rehabilitation schools in the country as a measure to ensure delinquent adolescents are effectively rehabilitated while making them accountable for crimes committed. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party and the House Business Committee (HBC), I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, this House orders that the business appearing as Order Nos.9 and 10 be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3) being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the majority or minority party or business sponsored by a committee. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This is a very straightforward Motion. I want to beg Members to pay attention because this is a decision we will make as a House. Wednesday morning is for Private Members’ Motions. However, we have requested the House to allow us to put the Question on Order No.9, which was debated adequately yesterday. We want to go on recess after finishing with the Third Reading. We request the House to allow us to pass this Procedural Motion, so that we can put the Question this morning and move to the Third Reading in the afternoon. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Order No.10 is a budget issue. If this House approves this Bill, it will go to the Senate for further approval, so that the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill that had already been passed is amended and the budget cycle can proceed. This is a very small Bill. We do not expect it to take more than 30 minutes. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was justifying why we should pass the Procedural Motion, but the Members are consulting loudly. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if Members agree with us on this Procedural Motion, it should not take more than one hour of the Private Members’ business. view

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this noble amendment. The reason we have the Unclaimed Assets Authority is because of not having taken care of our clients. If we amend it the way it has been proposed by the Chair, it will mean that someone will come in, in the event the owner of an account is not there. Just to respond to what our brother, Hon. Oundo, was trying to question on corporate clients, you will find corporate clients have several directors in most of the cases. If one of them has a problem, the other ... view
