• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have just noticed that the Report I have does not have the last page with signatures. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I apologise for that omission. I have just been given the Report by the Majority Whip and, indeed, in the last page there are signatures of the Members. I am sorry, for that omission. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The last point is that we know that the appointment of these Members is based on the NG-CDF Act. However, as we know when making public appointments, we also need to consider the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act.

It requires that the appointing authority when communicating the nomination to the House must provide full information about the procedure that was used to nominate the individuals. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am raising this issue because, having read the Report, I noticed that that particular information is missing. According to the law, it is a requirement for communication from the appointing authority. He must explain the process that was used in nominating these individuals.
