• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the good engineer will have all the time during the Third Reading of this Bill to propose an amendment rather than to criticize what is in the Bill. There are very many things which we will propose amendments to in the Third Reading of this Bill. He cannot fault the drafters. He can only propose amendments during the Third Reading rather than being pedantic. view
• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank the Leader of the Majority Party for those kind words. I wish to second this Bill. I want to say from the start that this is a very important Bill, particularly for tradesmen and all of us who go to shops, supermarkets, drive on our roads and those who go to hospitals. This Bill is very important because it is about measurements, quantities and value for money. Recently, I was inspecting road construction in my constituency. I was very keen, and the good engineer in the House will bear ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: your sugar, salt or whatever. You would find that a shopkeeper was stealing from the entire neighbourhood. You can only find that out by reading this Bill. Some offences are committed, but are sublimed to some extent because you would not recall what that person was doing. He might have stolen from you. However, the main question is about the value for money you obtain for the quantity of sugar sold to you, or even the quantity of maize flour sold to you in those days because we did not have packaging as we do today. For example, if someone ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: According to this Bill, we need to understand our environment. Our health sector, for instance, deals with equipment and drugs. So, there is an element of measurement in the health sector. When you are told that you have bought a generic drug, you should also be advised that the original drug is more expensive but more efficient than the generic drug. An individual who is sold generic drugs without being told so is actually being stolen from by the chemist. This is one area we must look into. A few of us are fortunate enough to go to a good ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to support this Amendment Bill. Institutions are as good as the welfare which sustains them. This Amendment Bill clearly indicates that the police have not been looking into the welfare of their rank and file. This is about workmen‟s compensation. It is about what happens when individuals are injured or killed in line of duty. For that reason, the die is cast and is squarely placed on the management of the National Police Service on the state of welfare of its manpower. view
