• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: coming to your office to complain about it. We have already given that indication and the last week before we went on recess, we had been promised that they would be tabled. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you also have a screen here, it can show somebody and their time. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to support the PFM (amendment) Act as regards issues to do with a sovereign bond. I also want to thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This goes a long way in showing how the Government is caring for its people. This Government is law abiding. They want to follow the due process of the law, and that is why these amendments have been brought here; this was done after realizing that the Government cannot continue without them.

Look at the way it is worded, “giving a written notification”, that will ruin plans of people who have prepared a wedding. This will be done by somebody who has been working behind doors. You will remember just the other day an old man appeared at his daughter’s marriage and stopped it. So, I say that we should not allow anybody to give a written notification. Assuming my father, who is not educated, wants to stop a marriage and he cannot write, what will happen? I oppose. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: It is just for clarity. He says we insert the following new paragraphs immediately after (c) --- Oh yeah, I think it is okay. I get it now. Sorry! view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the deletion of Clause 76(2). It is true for both men and women. During courtship, a woman might tell you that she is single with no children; only to realise after some time that she has four or five children, which you have to start taking care of. So, I support. view
