• 19 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Quorum Bell was rung before I started explaining the main reason for bringing this Bill, which has been circulated and read by the hon. Members. When I started to draft this Bill, it took me some time to talk to all the people who are concerned, so that they could give me their advice as to the best way we could draft a Bill of this nature. First of all, I think it is important for us to ask ourselves: "Who is a squatter? How did this come about?" The problem of the squatters ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that the allegations have been denied, competently and effectively by the Assistant Minister - and they were calculated allegations - what is the House going to do with a situation like that, when someone decides to bring allegations of that nature to destroy somebody, could be, for personal reasons? What is the position of the Chair? view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to say something about this Motion. When you listen to the hon. Members and the Minister who moved the Motion, you wonder what has gone wrong. If you look at the country the way it is and you look at the Government--- The Government which is so popular! The Government has overwhelming support from the people of this country. The President has a very strong following in this country, more than any other. But you ask yourself several questions: What has happened that ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Bill is becoming an Act of Parliament, I would also like the Minister to note the following. We have started something new where the management of our roads is being assigned to a particular group of people. I know without the politicians' interference in these authorities, I hope they will do a good job. Our practice has been that in matters of creation of bodies by Government or Parliament, politicians are normally involved. However, in this case, we have given clear blanket, I believe the politicians will not interfere with the operations ... view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to also air my views on this Bill. This Bill ought not to have been here if the media was 2192 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 3, 2007 willing to deal with the matter before we got into this situation. I understand that the Bill has been there for nearly ten years. It was first published in 1994. The Government must have been expecting the media to change its behaviour and adopt itself into good reporting and responsible journalism. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the media is responsible, just like ... view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: My apology, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I talked about even the "crazy" ones. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of them may not appear normal when you look at them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to conclude my contribution by calling for co-operation between the political leadership and the Press. With those very few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Am I in order to ask you to give a clear ruling on this situation? This is a situation which has never been witnessed in this House before. The Assistant Minister and the Mover of the Motion seem not to really understand where we are going! 1548 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 23, 2007 view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, but we are here! view
• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is long overdue and I am standing here to support it. But just supporting the Motion is not enough. The Motion is concentrating on building more universities in the so-called marginalised areas. We should not refer to any place as marginalised because nobody has marginalised any person except the way this country is geographically. It can be said that these are the areas which have economically been forgotten by the system from the time of Independence. Some areas have been forgotten and they have now been baptised "marginalised areas." It is also said ... view
