• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Yes! He said it was done selectively. But the judgment was made. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I reply. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this amendment with the following reasons. Every amendment should come with value addition. When you look at this amendment, I do not see any value. I want to justify that. We agree that the big problem that we have in this country is corruption. It is a monster. Looking at the current situation, we have had a lot of infighting, which Members agree on. However, is the issue of increasing the number of commissioners going to heal the problem of infighting? Many times we have talked about reducing the number of commissioners ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The second point of the amendment is on the part-time aspect. If we reduce the number to three and have them on a full time basis, they will be answerable. We have had a case study of people working on part- time basis. It was realised that there was no commitment where commissioners worked part-time. There was no accountability. The issue of responsibility becomes a problem in a part-time arrangement. If we reduce the number and have them on a full time basis, there will be no accountability issues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: From the Act, it is clear that the powers are with the commissioners, and not the secretariat; unless we amend it further to provide otherwise.

When His Excellency the President came to this august House, he was given a standing ovation because he ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) took up the cases, but some people are still free. This means there was a serious issue in terms of evidence analysis. We should not write amendments for the sake of it. The Chairperson should tell us why he has brought these amendments. As far as fighting corruption is concerned, I do not see any value in these amendments. That is why I oppose them. Hon. Speaker, during the Committee of the whole House, we will propose some amendment to reduce the number of the commissioners from five to three, as a way of ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to say something about this petition. Indeed, Article 32 of the Constitution is clear when it comes to the issue of freedom of worship. However, as a Catholic, I know that there are Catholic schools which subscribe to the Catholic doctrine. It affects you even when it comes to eating – there are specific kinds of meals for specific days. Therefore, my humble request is that, as the petitioner presents his prayer to this House, there is need for him to attach the letter of suspension in order for us to establish ... view
