• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You have given direction as per the Order Paper about the request by hon. Injendi. However, yesterday when I presented our Report, we had a general statement on the implementation of 29 resolutions. This is the first Statement I want to read out, of course, together with the pyramid schemes Statement. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but the main one is about the other 29 resolutions which we had and I gave to the House Business Committee yesterday. It is a very short Statement on--- view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: As you are already aware, the Committee on Implementation is established under Standing Order No.209 and is mandated to do the following. This is, of course, as indicated under Standing Order No.209. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In the exclusion of the above mandate, the Committee on Implementation has todate scrutinized a total of 29 House resolutions and I wish to make the following observation:- That while the House resolutions were communicated to the respective Cabinet Secretaries, the Committee has todate received only two implementation status reports from the various Cabinet Secretaries. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We have only received two responses; one from the Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development about the pyramid scheme and I am going to read it out and the second one was a commitment which was given by the Majority Leader with regard to the increase of prostitution within our universities. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: As we are trying to undertake some of these resolutions, my Committee has observed the following:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Some of the House resolutions are difficult to implement because of the way they are worded. I, therefore, wish to take this opportunity to request the Chairmen of various House Committees and the secretariats to ensure that resolutions that come to the Floor of the House for adoption or debate are SMART. Of course, “SMART” means that they should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. This will make it easy for the Committee to demand action and measure progress of implementation. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is also becoming difficult to trace and follow up on some of the resolutions since Committee reports are not regularly published on the parliamentary website. If you look at Standing Order No.200, you will find that it is very specific. We have to periodically -that is after every six months - publish the resolutions on the parliamentary website. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Equally challenging is the fact that the Committees have not been submitting half or yearly progress reports to the Liaison Committee to facilitate easy capturing of resolutions and quality control. view
