• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, given that we are going to be voting this afternoon, and given clearly that there were three hon. Members who are in breach of the rules, would it be proper for them to continue sitting in this House to vote? view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Dr. Khalwale raised a very significant point of order asking you to make a ruling on it and you have not ruled on it. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just last week, you prevented me from raising an issue because the matter was in court. Given that this Question directly refers to a court case and in connection to your recent ruling when I raised the issue of Esther Arunga, is it in order for the Question to be on the Order Paper? It identifies the fact that the matter is in court. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister agree with me that unless and until we deal with the issue of corruption, particularly until we deal with the Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing and Triton scams, we will continue to be ranked very lowly because no single serious prosecution has taken place with regard to corruption? As long as that remains the status quo, our ranking will always be low. Would he agree with that? view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You had indicated that I revisit the issue of the matter being in court when the Assistant Minister is in the House. I am not sure that he knows that. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for a very thorough answer. If I had the authority, I would recommend that he be elevated when the reshuffle comes, so that he can be the substantive Minister, because he takes his work more seriously than the substantive Minister who is looking at me in the House today. I am very happy for the answer. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will go by your ruling, but I only said “if I had the authority”, which I do not have. So, maybe, he did not listen to me carefully. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that investigations have not been carried out, yet steps have been taken with finality. You have cancelled results rather than withholding results pending investigations. Could you give this House assurance that these investigations that you will do are not designed to rubberstamp a decision that has already been taken? If the investigations were truly genuine, you would not have cancelled the results before the results of the investigations are known. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to say that the crime was committed and then proceed to say that investigations to establish whether a crime was committed are being conducted? Is he in order to say that when the Attorney-General is sitting next to him, who can give him proper legal advice as to the rules of natural justice? He should not mislead this House that they are conducting investigations after the Ministry has already taken conclusive measures by cancelling the results. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I heard you advise the Minister to seek the advice of the Attorney-General and he generously agreed. In the circumstances, is it not only right that this Question be deferred until he takes advice from the Attorney-General on the procedure relating to natural justice before coming to answer this Question on your advice? view
