My amendment is deleting the words “a” and “national” in the paragraph; deleting the word “facility” and replacing it with the word “facilities”; and deleting the last words, which are “with a bed capacity of at least 1,000 persons”. view

• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Yes. I have (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) and (b). Therefore, the new paragraph d (ii) will read “establishment of suitable health facilities for the treatment and management of infectious and viral diseases such as COVID-19. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, all I am asking is that instead of just asking that the Government establishes one big hospital, we make provisions so that the Government can establish many hospitals. With infectious diseases, if you have one main hospital which is a distance away, you will be transporting people from distant places of the country to that place, in the process disseminating the ... view

• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: My Order Paper is different. There was another raft of amendments under that where you are asking the person designated by the Principal Secretary instead of the Principal Secretary alone. And all the way down and where we are adding (d), there is a (da), where we are adding the Principal Secretary for the time being responsible for matters relating to the National Treasury.
