• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, I now support. I want to appreciate the fact that we have put a committee because the issues that have always dogged us are that we do not have time to consider. With the joint committee, those issues can be solved before they go to the Senate. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I know you have explained, but I am still concerned about the words “to be heard”. It gives so much leeway than, probably, where we were before. I would have thought that this would call for knowing the procedures that the parties lay down and whether that would go into the Political Parties Act. It would have been important.

• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, I rise to support all these proposals today. This is an extremely important amendment which makes a distinction between the mandate of the Cabinet Secretary and the Council. We intend the Council to do the job but not the CS. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: 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
• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support this amendment. We are just noting the copycat issue. I also rise to note that we can see what is coming in future. The party of independents will have a lot of sway and a voice in the Assembly. We note it with-- - view
