• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a very short Statement. It is a further Statement made at the request of Mr. Mbadi seeking a Ministerial Statement from the Attorney-General on the withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further to my Statement before this House on 22nd November, 2012, I wish to add the following: Hon. Mbadi wanted a clarification as to whether this House could give authority to withdraw funds on account without prior approval on the Estimates and before the Appropriation Bill had been introduced in the House and published, as was the case in the last financial year. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I alluded last time to the provisions of Article 222(1) of the Constitution. The Constitution provides for two situations in which funds may be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund in these circumstances, that is, where the Appropriation Act has not been assented to and where the Appropriation Act is not likely to be assented to. The monies in question were withdrawn on 14th June, 2011. As of the said date, the Appropriation Act for the financial year 1st July, 2011 to 30th June, 2012 had not been assented to as provided under Article 222 of the Constitution. ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is further worthy of note that on 7th June, 2011, you gave directions on how the Budget process was to proceed in the interim transition period, that is, in the life of this Parliament.

These findings and ruling have been brought to the attention of the Treasury and we would hope that this irregularity will not be repeated in the future. view

• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to point out that at the time that these unfortunate events happened, I was not the Attorney General. But I do not wish to apportion blame. The Office of the Attorney General is an institution and we take responsibility for the error that was committed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that this was never a deliberate intention to mislead Parliament and the Government. From all the evidence that has been available to me on file, it would appear that it was an error that was inadvertent. It was a failure other than a commission. ... view

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On 23rd November, 2011, you directed me to provide the House with data relating to sexual offences and incitement cases in relation to post-election violence. I consulted the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and he availed to my office the following information:- (a) There were 369 cases relating to sexual gender-based violence that were reported.

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question of PEV and local justice for the victims is a top priority for the Government. However, because of the nature of the events surrounding these cases, it has been very difficult to conduct investigations. Many people moved from their original locations. The police are working hard. There is a special taskforce that the Commissioner of Police put together for this purpose. I am view
