• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, in as much as we appreciate the sentiments by the Attorney-General, the Committee Chairman and the Vice-Chairman--- I do not know whether I have the ears of the Chairlady. In as much as we want to go by their sentiments, I think the Chairman and his team should, at least, be courteous and inform other Members who had amendments to these particular Acts; they should not just come and ambush other Members. As earlier stated, let us move one by one; if Members have issues we will consider them. If the Attorney-General wants to withdraw his amendments, ... view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to inform my good friend, as I support, that contrary to what the hon. Minister Wetangula has said, that there are other laws to punish people who give false evidence, even before this Sexual Offences Act came into force, indeed, rapists were being sentenced and locked up. Secondly, I want to inform the hon. Member that particular hon. Members who are here now are the ones who were in the forefront in the last Parliament to suggest that men be castrated, starting with none other hon. Cecily Mbarire. We must also think about the ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think hon. Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona has said it all. I think what is happening is either Members are fatigued--- We are now passing these laws without even understanding the implications. Like now, we have given a blanket waiver on qualification on Members of Parliament. When hon. Dr. Nuh was moving his proposed amendment, he never gave the rationale. So, we need to be very careful because we do not want to be accused of passing bad laws. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, to be very precise, it is wrong to be discriminatory, whereby we put qualifications for Members of Parliament, which are different from somebody outside there. Just to expand on that, it is one thing to say that the qualifications for Members of Parliament are exempt from that provision of post- secondary--- view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what I am getting is this: We have the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill here which had given the requirements.

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am very glad that my good friend, hon. Wetangula, has really made the case for me. We were doing very well until we got to Section 10(1) and then we stopped following the statutes to the Bill. We are expected to go by the Bill and if there is something related to that from the hon. Members’ amendments, we will look at it, but not through the Bill. We went straight to the Order Paper. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we need you to assist us. You have said Section 28 of what, where, which page? You can guide us. view
