• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I think for a long time the petitions that we have had in court and so on, you have always found that an electoral officer made a blunder and yet, they go scot free and the Member of Parliament or civic body ends up suffering. This has encouraged a culture of impunity among electoral officers. This kind of provision that the chairman of the CIOC has brought will limit that kind of impunity among officers who have been tasked with conducting elections. There are many times that people have complained about what electoral officers have done and ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Is the Minister in order to suggest that we allow the PSC to sit on this panel, and yet, this same PSC is responsible for the skewed employment in all Ministries? Are we sure that they will be able to do a good job here? view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the Minister’s amendment. That is because what has happened in this House is that while we are a post-conflict Parliament, we sometimes tend to be a conflicting Parliament. That kind of amendment will tend to unlock that kind of stalemate. So, what the Minister has done is to ensure that this Parliament is bound to actually move instead of pussyfooting, delaying things and eventually running out of time. I think the Minister’s amendment should be supported by all of us. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to seek your guidance. I do not think that the other Secretaries of the other various Commissions have had to go through parliamentary approval.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose that amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The good Professor cannot possibly withdraw that because the Secretary has to get Parliamentary approval. Therefore, it is only right that he is a State Officer. view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the issue of dogmatically following the procedure but the issue is rendering services. Is the Assistant Minister aware that most councils follow that dogmatic procedure of charging levies in areas where they do not render any services? For example, they charge levies in market centres where they do not render any sanitary facilities. They also charge boda boda riders and yet the councils do not maintain those roads. Those roads are done by the Constituency Roads Committees. What has the Minister done to ensure that the dogmatic following of procedure is also ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that a lot of transfers of heads of schools in the middle of the term do disrupt the learning activities of that school? What will he do to ensure that these transfers do not occur in the middle of the year and, therefore, disrupt the schools functions? view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister inform this House what could have led to the delay in the settlement of this money? The said person retired in 2000 and was paid in 2011, almost 11 years since he retired. Could she, please, explain to this House what could have led to the delay in this payment? view
