• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank the Assistant Minister for the very able reply.

If so, could he provide a list? view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the depositors of these banks since 2006 have been suffering because the bank is still under statutory management. The Committees of this House have recommended the re-opening of the bank, but nobody seems to adhere or in any way comply with the resolutions of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has confirmed that Charterhouse bank was closed because of violating the Central Bank’s prudential guidelines. From 2004 to date, could he confirm whether there has been any other bank which has violated similar prudential guidelines? If any, could he table the list before this House? ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your guidance, only that I will ask now that the Assistant Minister has confirmed that Charterhouse bank was closed because of violating the banking prudential guidelines, when the Minister comes to reply, he should confirm whether from 2004 to date, similar prudential guidelines alluded to have been violated by any other bank and if so, compile a full--- view

• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matters raised in this Question are extremely serious because they touch on the core part of the elections and if the answers are not correct, we might find ourselves in another problem in 2013. Therefore, I will indulge the Assistant Minister what he is asking for but I would like him to ensure that he brings an answer regarding the type of software that they will use, whether it will be black box or open software because both or either have serious consequences. This is to avoid further deferment of the Question. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to try to mislead the House about these markets? Over the last three years, the markets have not been completed and this House has approximately 30 sittings left and we have about four months before we go to the election. Could he confirm to the House that he is not only marking and buying time and that the markets in all the constituencies will be completed by maybe the end of October or 15th of November? Could he give the House that assurance? view

So, it is important that the sports complexes are built in appropriate places. It is also important that when the athletes have completed the ... view
