• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order to seek your guidance on the meaning of today’s Order Paper. You notice that the Motion for Adjournment is supposed to be moved not later than 3.30 p.m. but it is now getting to 4.00 p.m. We ought to have gone into the Motion for the Adjournment of the House. I seek your guidance. What is this business that we have been transacting? view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do have substantive comments to make on the issue but I would just seek your direction because the Chair, just before you moved in, did expressly direct the Clerks-at-the-Table to distribute “the amended memorandum”. Those were the words of the Speaker. The Speaker did not say distribute a copy of a letter from the President. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seeking guidance that the memorandum is going to be circulated so that we can make substantive comments on it. view

• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, following that deferment of the order, I did participate in a discussion with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, the hon. Attorney General and the Deputy Leader of Government Business who is also the Minister for Transport. I did indicate to them certain areas of this Memorandum that a substantial number of us in the Back Bench were unhappy with and offering a way forward in order to progress this matter. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, then, obviously, if that is the situation, we would have to report progress so that the issue can be determined in the plenary of the House rather than in a Committee, because I raised substantial questions of the interpretation of the Constitution, particularly if the Attorney-General does agree that we could not disagree on the areas that constitute unconstitutional aspects of this memoranda. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: If that is the position of the Government, then I would urge that we first Report Progress so that we can discuss that substantial issue in plenary. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. In that case, before the hon. Attorney General can move the amendments, I should be heard on the legality of this Memorandum. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the Memorandum that we are now seized of is a Memorandum dated--- view
