• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: For the first one, I have an answer. It was clear, but I am not privy to the other one. On the first one, he had asked whether there is a conflict, and it was explicit. It had said “subject to any other written law”. I am not sure about this one. This is radioactive. What does it have to do with the Mining Act? That is what I am thinking. I doubt whether in mining any radioactive waste is discharged. This is explicit on radioactive and not on mining. It could be waste from mining, but not related to ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The Legal Counsel has advised. I strongly believe that is the position. There is no contradiction, whatsoever, with the NEMA Act. Again, it is a very complicated issue concerning nuclear. They thought hard. If you look at the composition, we have people who have many qualifications. The clearance is to be given by the Authority. If you exceed that level, then you lose. So, according to the Legal Counsel, there is no contradiction. The Authority has the mandate to own radioactive waste. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I am an Accountant by profession, but that does not stop me from being a legislator. Honestly, I do not know that one. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I had indicated the first issue that was raised about conflict, the drafters of this Bill were very clear. They said “subject to any other written law”. Because it is not written, I want to believe that the drafters of this Bill knew that there is nothing like that in the NEMA Act unless you, as a Member of Parliament, specifically tell me which law we are contravening. That way, we could make some progress. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 82 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “Commission” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “Authority”. It is for the same reason. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I seek your guidance on this. The Leader of the Majority Party has asked, but it is okay. I beg to move: 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

• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true the Cabinet Secretary (CS) was invited and the Member did show up. But the CS Petroleum Hon. Munyes did not show up. We, in that respect, have asked Hon. Munyes to appear before us next week on Thursday before the recess. When we got in touch with him, he said that he got the invitation late. But I think it is just an excuse. Although we do not have many questions related to Petroleum, but he did not appear. He only appears when we have budgets and supplementary budgets. Most of the time, ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I totally concur with the request by the Mover of the Bill. It is also right for the Leader of the Majority Party to bring this to the attention of the Committee. Today, we stopped other engagements to confine ourselves to this matter. We accept and look forward to the date that it will be put on the Order Paper so that we can deal with it. It is also important for the Leader of the Majority Party to bring this to the attention of the Committee. Today, we would have looked at some very critical ... view
