• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: That is very good information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because it clearly delienates the fact that the Chair of the Committee was misleading the House. However, if the structure of the National Police--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, people are eating into my airtime. We cannot allow a situation where the command structure of the National Police Service shall be determined by one individual, in this case, the Cabinet Secretary. This country has suffered a lot from impunity. We must ensure that there are accountability measures. You cannot be doing the same thing time and again and expecting different results. After 50 years of independence, we need to experiment with proper structures. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Member in order to mislead the House? While it is true that we need to enact subsidiary legislation to give effect to our Constitution, she is misleading the House by saying that the very subsidiary legislation should negate the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Is she in order? view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I am just concerned about the proposal submitted by the Committee concerning the membership as proposed by this amendment. It talks about seven other members and I am wondering whether it is prudent to just have seven members without them being defining what they represent in this organization.

• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am addressing myself to Clause 7 as has been proposed. This is because if you look at (ii)(b) it is stated that--- Sorry, if you look at (i)--- I think that is where I have a problem. That is where I have a problem. It is under Clause 7 and not Clause 6. Clause 6 has a very minor amendment. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this should also be seen as an enabling legislation of the Constitution. Already there are provisions in the Constitution, but would you measure progression of, say, Article 54(2) on the five per cent for persons with disabilities if you do not expressly provide that at least one of the 7 members appointed under this proposed amendment will be a person with disability. To assume that the Constitution shall be followed is to leave too much leeway to the appointing authority; because of the competition and interest that arises from such appointments some of these things fall through. ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. Some of us are here to represent such interests. While I agree, I know very well that, that kind of approach is responsible for the non-compliance with some of these provisions. Where the clause says “five per cent”, it says “at least“. I think there would be problem to say “at most---“. This is the totality. Today we have an opportunity to legislate, so that we correct that which we may think was done wrongly before. Therefore, I find it an omission. There are general qualifications that we can delineate for whatever public office we create ... view
