• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been listening to the lawyers make their presentations and arguments. I will not focus on the constitutional issues. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: No! I want to make one or two general statements. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I am just referring to the Bill. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I just want to speak briefly on one or two things. I will not take two minutes because I am just reading the Bill and looking at two sentences. The Bill says: “Limiting the rights to privacy as far as prevention, detection and investigation of money laundering and financing of terrorism is concerned.” I think this is a very specific issue which means other issues might not matter much. I like what Hon. Kaluma said. I think this is why law is a social science because there is no formula. You know for us the mathematicians; we just use the ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in appreciating the presentation. Majority of us have said it was too long however, it had some good things and gaps. The good things have been said by my colleagues and will not dwell much on that. I will pick the highlights and slightly focus more on what missed in the Speech which I wish was there. The presentation on the issue of Covid-19 was excellent. He focused on mitigating measures and more so, the economic stimulus package which was offered by the Government. The punch line under that was ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The President came out clear and spoke about how he has doubled the GDP of this country in the eight years he has been in power.

There is what we call intergenerational equity in terms of distribution of public debt. The third ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for your guidance. It makes a lot of sense that Members are allowed to look at the Committee Report. At the same time, the Bill has been published. The Committee will be working on areas that need to be amended. It is also important for Members to read the Bill so that even as we discuss what needs to be improved or amended, they are aware of what the Bill says. If they just wait for the Report, it will not help them as it will be talking about areas that require amendment. The electronic ... view

• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The matter being raised is quite important. I wonder whether as a House... The legal minds can help us. When we were changing the word “minister” to “cabinet secretary”, it was the same thing. We sat here to say change the word “minister” to read “cabinet secretary” and the Bill had around 40 clauses containing that. Is there no other way? Are we saying this legal profession does not have innovation? You need to be more innovative. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support that amendment because from the way Hon. Shamalla is expressing it, she seems to be an expert on those matters. So, I want to support it. That appreciation of the terminologies is very important. view
