• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has said that when the newspaper reporters translated his remarks from Ekegusii to English, they misquoted him. He is now attempting to tell us exactly what he said in Ekegussi but he is saying it in English. I seek the indulgence of the Chair that we allow the Minister to speak in Ekegusii so that it goes on the HANSARD and then we shall invite an independent person to translate. After that, we can interrogate that statement. view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order Nos.36 and 38. I notice, from the Orders of the Day, that Order Nos.8 and 9 are Motions pertaining to Private Members’ Bills. According to Standing Order No.38, Private Members’ Bills can only come on Wednesday mornings. The same Standing Order provides that you can vary Government Business to occur on Monday morning, with the resolution of the House.

• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have no problem with you making that kind of ruling. We are not lazy that we want to run away. However, the point is, we have traditions which are set in this House. The customs and usages are such that when the Speaker chooses to go the route you go, usually, the Leader of Government Business will come and move a Procedural Motion requesting that things be varied from the way things are done traditionally before we move. If we allow the Chair, for one day, hour, minute or even ... view
• 11 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have two points of order. First, is the Prime Minister in order to mislead the House that the Government does not control the HBC? We all know that the presence of the Government is the majority in the HBC. We also know that the two Chief Whips who are the acting Leaders of Government Business also sit in the HBC. Therefore, the Prime Minister cannot sit there and justify failure of Government to give us business to the fact that they do not control the HBC. Secondly, Mr. Imanyara has ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Matters pertaining to the NCPB are very sensitive at the moment. The Assistant Minister has laid a document on the Table here which we would be interested to analyze, to see which positions are affected, who are the officers concerned and more importantly, who is presiding over the restructuring. If in these particular documents, we are going to find that the Minister is involved in midwifing the restructuring process, then we would not allow it because the same Minister is also adversely affected on matters corruption pertaining to NCPB. view
