• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Attorney-General moved the amendment for inclusion of that new clause, but he did not explain what the inclusion of that clause implies. As we make laws, we need to understand from the Attorney-General, who is the September 12, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3877 Mover, so that we know exactly what it is all about. The amendment is just talking about computerised smart card made of plastic material, containing a micro-processor.

Many of these NGOs obtain money from overseas donors and other agencies, but do not account for it. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: This is the money that is being used to malign the names of hon. Members of Parliament out there! There is no accountability.

• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to second the amendment by hon. 3886 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 12, 2007 Abdalla. Why would the Minister want to take control of the KNCHR? This body ought to be independent of the Government. Most human rights cases actually are against Government officers in power. They are the ones who are bound to misuse power to interfere with people's human rights. Therefore, their control should not be vested in a Government's Minister. This body should be independent. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to second. view

They go on filing stay after stay, until we are not able to prosecute them. Some even become "St. Paul". That cannot be acceptable. We must not allow people to use the courts to deny wananchi their money, which they looted from them. Let this Parliament ... view
