• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: No. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I am concerned that we have very many proposed amendments by Members who are not present. I remember when we were doing the Community Land Bill, there was a whole barrage of amendments by Hon. Tiyah Galgalo and she was not present. If you look at these amendments, they are actually useful. What is really happening? Do Hon. Members know or are they informed, especially those who bring these amendments? I know tracking Bills is not an easy job in this Parliament. I think we need to address this issue. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this amendment because security is a very important issue. We need a bare minimum of some standards. As far as training is concerned, I know security firms may train their people, but it would be nice to have a mandatory training before they are employed. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose this amendment. This amendment is opaque. It does not tell us what the State considers to be in its interest.

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I oppose the amendment. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I support this because it makes sense. It is clear. You have evidence. I have issues with some clauses like Clause 32 which we have passed. I support. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. It is extremely useful that we make a clear distinction so that people who like to pretend or use things that will confuse the public are kept at bay. However, and perhaps this can be taken up in the regulations, 50(f) states that “use or install other equipment as the Cabinet Secretary may from time to time prescribe. There may be need under the regulations to be more specific and give guidelines to the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is an extremely important point that has been raised. Three years down the line I found it interesting and difficult to understand why when very important issues are being discussed we tend to throw The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
