• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I look at the Bill and find that the rigours of vetting is not there. We just have a committee that meets twice a year, receives memoranda or petitions, makes a determination, forwards to the governor and the governor decides who is a hero. That is not rigorous enough. There must be some tiers of approval before someone is considered a hero. Otherwise, anything goes. If you look at the manner we do public participation - you just hire your crowd who come and approve. Knowing very The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: well that people can buy their way into fame. We need to provide for a more rigorous way in which people may be vetted for purposes of being conferred with this honour. That is something I would ask that the drafters of the Bill consider even as we go to the Committee of the Whole. view

Clause 12(a) talks about leadership, but it is also deliberate to talk about politics. This is because politics is the art of the possible and organises society. Sometimes when we draft legislation; we are shy off our own selves. This is something that I would ask that it be included under some of the things that have been listed there as areas of excellence.

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: procedure? This is for purposes of uniformity so that you do not find that somebody has been conferred with a lesser honour in county (a) against county (b). I hope this Bill can also speak to the Heroes Act so that there is conformity because there seems to be confusion here. Is it about the Hall of Fame or honouring county heroes?
