• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Having considered that, I also want to associate myself, indeed, with the sentiments expressed by hon. Githae; that we are hoping that this process of domesticating international statutes can be fast-tracked by the Attorney-General. Indeed, I am aware of many of the international protocols and statutes that have been consented to by the Government, that have not seen the Floor of this House. That is not the proper way to do it. I want to believe the business of knee-jack reaction--- Maybe the greatest motivation of The International Crimes Bill to even see the walls of this House, is a ... view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to agree that we have upheld our constitutional obligations as a House. The Ministers of Government should never worry that Parliament shall be committed to the sovereignty of the Constitution and institutions that have been established by the Constitution. That is the only way to pride ourselves as a nation that respects its institutions, and we will follow the appropriate way of reforming them, if need be. view

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered The Accountants Bill and approved the same without amendments. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to thank the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources, for the able manner in which he defended this particular Bill this afternoon. I think we appreciate when Ministers not only know, but actually demonstrate their knowledge. I think the House was convinced beyond any shadow of doubt why we should separate the regulation Committee, as proposed by the Minister, from the Council of Ministers and also the support that Assistant Ministers, hon. Mungatana and hon. Githae gave in terms of recollecting what happens in the LSK and the Ministry of Medical Services. view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember, when I was supporting this particular Bill, I raised the issue of accountants at the district level, not obeying the professional standards. I am hoping, now that this Bill has come, that the Council will regulate all accountants, including those in the Public Service. The accountants in the private sector should not be any different from those in the Public Service. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to bring to the attention of the Chair that this afternoon view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: six Questions have been deferred to tomorrow. Yesterday, you deferred another one. So, I am just wondering about tomorrow's Order Paper. Question Time may need to be extended. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to oppose the amendment. I had the fortune of being in the meetings that actually made sure that the Leader of Government Business had a slot of his time, just like the Prime Minister. However, we felt that since he would be coming to make a Statement by virtue of being the Leader of Government Business, it should suffice for the Leader of Government Business just to make that Statement. My understanding is that the way Ministerial Statements are brought to this House by Ministers, and hon. Members can seek clarifications, without necessarily debating ... view
