• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: As I support, I know the CIC‟s time is over, but the body that replaced it needs to look through the Constitution. We should start thinking about which areas of the Constitution are problematic and amend them. I know they are many. What we saw in health is happening in the agriculture and water sector but, since it is not drawing public attention, we are silent about it. So, I support this, but we should look at the bigger picture in the area of the implementation of the Constitution as a whole. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I stand to support the Bill. Any recognition from the President is always valued a lot in the society. It indicates recognition. All human beings appreciate the value of recognition. In fact, it motivates people. It motivates everybody who feels that they are recognised. Above all, if people feel recognised, it is easier for them to move and apply their initiative and look for facilitation so that they can achieve and use their talents for the benefit of the community. Therefore, an award that focuses on ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: We know there is an award that is going on currently, but it is not based in law. It has no legal framework. It is therefore important that this Bill comes into place so that it will provide a legal framework in which we support our youth. Then we will make them realise that they are recognised. We will also encourage them to the idea of service, voluntarism and the idea of value to the society. Therefore, I support this Bill. If you look at the objects of the Bill in Clause 3, it talks about regulating the conferring of ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: direction. Therefore, this award, coming with objects like that in the Bill is something that is commendable. It is important that if you undertake something as important as this, you have a structure for it. The establishment of a Board of Trustees is a good thing and it will definitely make this a valuable undertaking and something that, in the President‟s hands, can take the young people far. I see many people from the Government in the board, but I also see that we look for people who are capable in areas of resource mobilisation, governance and public administration, community ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Clause 7 of the Bill on the functions of the board deals with how the whole thing will be organised. Sub-clause 7(g), which makes recommendations on the criteria for conferring of awards to young people, is extremely important. We live in a country where there is suspicion. The country is divided along all sorts of lines like ethnic lines and religious lines. Therefore, if we have clear criteria which will set out who gets the Award, when they get the Award and for what activities, then it will be very encouraging. We should look at that. view
