• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have been a Chair of PIC and it is not the first time a situation like this is happening whereby the matter goes to two committees. I remember with the SGR, a similar incident happened. In your ruling, you said that that matter was handled by the PIC and at the same time by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. If all the Committees handled the matter objectively, you are calling the same witnesses and they are giving similar information, common sense dictates that conclusion should be similar if you are not going to ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, it does not matter whether the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and PIC are looking at this matter. If you are having similar witnesses, obviously, the conclusion of the report will be similar, if you are objective. Hon. Pkosing, who is my good friend, raised this matter and we discussed it. We agreed that it was an oversight and we were going to amend it because when a matter is before the Floor of the House, any committee has a right to deal with it. We have the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare because of ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: This is not the first time that a matter is cutting across committees. A situation has happened before where the Speaker has ruled that we should have a joint committee as opposed to witnesses moving from one committee to the other. That can also be in the way forward. Interests are there on this matter. As we move on, Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear that this House can deliberate on any issue of importance and resolve the matter. As we speak, there was a strike at the JKIA and the cause of that strike is the issue ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: two committees that are relevant can have a joint sitting. This is a progress report and there is nothing wrong with the progress report. When my Whip talks about the Liaison Committee, he interpreted from a wrong context and I want to correct him. The Liaison Committee says that a progress report should not come to the Floor until it goes to the Liaison Committee. The Liaison Committee is made of chairpersons of committees. When you are there, each chair gives a progress report on what their committee is doing. That is what happens. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: No. This is a different report because when chairs meet under the Liaison Committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Speaker, every committee states their work plan and what they have achieved. That is how it is. That is why it says that you must go through the Liaison Committee. So, it was a wrong context because that kind of a report is totally different from this Report. Even the Leader of the Majority Party is agreeing with me to that extent. As we move forward, let us respect each other. Nobody has a monopoly of knowledge. Everybody will add ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I thank you for bringing that clarity. It is important that when Chairs come to this Floor of the House to move Motions, they should highlight critical issues. The third part says: “three persons of integrity who have served the public with distinction.” The Chairman cannot run away from this. He must be able to demonstrate if the three have worked in the public The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: with distinction. How do you measure that somebody has served with distinction? Of course you do not have a “distinctionmeter” but there are other indicators… view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, I have looked at the Report, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, because here we need to address issues. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When it comes to reply, you can highlight that, but in the real sense it should not be in the reply but actually when you are moving so that you qualify this to the Members that this has happened. For instance, when it comes to distinction, if somebody has… view
