• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I want to support this New Clause 11A. It goes with what we had earlier. Many times, we find that these are not in the law and people can take advantage of it. Where it provides the old ways like the post office and you do not include this, people can say that they were not given the information. This is a good introduction of a new clause. I support it. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it sounds very innovative and good, but I would have wanted to get the comment of the Chair of the Committee because this is an extensive amendment. It is change of definition where you have large business of agents and now, we are classifying the agents. So, I may have wanted to hear the comments of the Chair on the import of this, other than the proposer of the amendment. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to continue with the discussion on this Bill. As I indicated yesterday, this is a very important Bill but there is a very serious caution that I wanted and I still want to raise. It is a Bill that otherwise we would have liked to see through. As Members were discussing this Bill, what came out was that most of them had the impression that this Bill is actually establishing or supporting the Sports Fund. But the reality is this Bill is actually deleting the Fund in the Sports ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: amended. So, I find that we are acting in a way that we may pass a Bill and realise the function does not exist in the Sports Act. We are not even sure, as we are passing it, where it is going to be housed. We may need to be guided on that. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: However, let us assume that it is going to be housed in the legal notice, either Legal Notice No.194 or Legal Notice No. 236, whichever the case may be. The legal notices, particularly Legal Notice No.194 has its own major shortcomings and in my mind, I would not like to support that kind of housing for this function of the Sports Fund. To begin with, the membership of the board that is created in the Sports, Arts and Social Development Fund is actually five Permanent Secretaries and three independent members who are appointed by the same PSs.
