6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think it is important for us to really understand where this thing is coming from and we have already done our research and we want to inform the House what invert sugar is. It is actually a mixture of equal parts of glucose and fructose resulting from the hydrolysis of sucrose.

It is found naturally in fruits and honey and produced artificially for use in the food industry. That is the information.

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to move a further amendment to the proposed amendment to Section A of part I. I beg to move that the First Schedule be further amended by deleting the word ‘two”, appearing in paragraph two and substituting therefore, the word “four”. The reason for this is that, when you talk about motor vehicles after every two years, it is a very short time, indeed. I think we cannot exempt vehicles after every two years. We might get into a situation whereby we might misuse that privilege. Therefore, to me, after every four ...

31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion that the House do now adjourn. I recollect that yesterday when we were debating here, you said âuntil you hear from meâ. Before the Members hear from us, we thought it is important that you also hear from the Cabinet Secretary and the Chairman of the Transitional Authority. They are waiting and as soon as this House agrees to this adjournment, they will come here. They will explain and tell the House why we are having these problems in devolution. I know for sure that the National Assembly is committed to ...

30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to set the record straight with regard to the meeting that was held this morning. Indeed, we had a joint committee meeting comprising the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We had summoned the Cabinet Secretaries in charge of devolution, Treasury, transport and energy. It is true that none of them appeared before the joint committee. However, later on they reached us and explained that there was confusion caused by a letter written to the committees through the Clerk ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Let me also echo the words of my colleague that until you hear from me, we do know that the money for REA will be there.

30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Whether there was a mess in the Budget or not, our expectation and belief is that the Government must get money to bring to REA so that REA can continue with its operations and we are not stopping at anything. We must make sure that this is actually achieved. Therefore, let me assure Members that for the meeting that we are going to be having tomorrow, we want to encourage as many Members as possible to come and attend it so that if there are issues that are going to be there, we can also solve them together. We agreed ...

30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, what that means basically is that this House, by its own nature, is the one that passes Budgets of this country. You can make Budgets or unmake them in this House. You can do whatever you want to do with Budgets but make sure there is provision for those funds that are required for this country to move forward. So, when we say you will hear from us as committee responsible for that, it means there will be a report to that effect. If there are no funds, then it means we can even alter the Budget so ...

25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. That Statement is quite enormous. I request that we be given four weeks so that we can give a comprehensive answer that is devoid of any other issues.
