• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Committee has not yet presented its Report to the appointing authority. (b) The Minister, therefore, is not in a position to table the Report. (c) Since the Report has not been presented, there are no administrative and policy measures in place for its implementation. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just explained that the Report has not been presented to the appointing authority. I would like to enlighten the hon. Member that there are, indeed, procedures to be followed once a Committee has been appointed by an authority. The Committee embarks on its deliberations, completes its findings, prepares the Report and then presents it properly to the appointing authority. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there are two matters here. First of all, with regard to what the hon. Members has stated, he has referred to the contents of a Report which has not been presented. It is difficult on my part to comment on a Report which has not yet been presented! view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: I am responding to a point of order! view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other bit of it, which I believe is more relevant is the fact that if, indeed, this Report has been completed and is ready for implementation, then the Chairman of this particular Committee should seek the necessary opportunity to present the Report. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that I inform the hon. Member that I am not in a position to say when the Report is going to be laid on the Table for deliberation yet it has not been presented! view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my only retort to that one is that, that presentation is speculative. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that this Committee operated within a time limit. Definitely, it was not supposed to operate indefinitely. However, the key thing here is that this Committee has not presented its Report. One clearly understands that there are a number of points of great interest to the Muslim Community which we would want to address. As a matter of fact, I would wish that the Chairman of this Committee makes an appointment to present this Report. As a Government, we are very much interested to know what the contents of the Report are. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe what the hon. Member has said that within a certain period of time, the Report was supposed to have been presented to the Minister. I have been in that Ministry since mid-January and I have not been presented with the interim report. view
• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to state categorically that I had not received the interim Report referred to by Ms. A. Abdalla. I have not received it in my office. view
