I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second Sessional Paper No.2 of 2018. In brief, this is a policy whose time has come. Currently, we have several agencies dealing with corruption and it is about time we came up with a paper that will harmonise their work. The present legislation is sufficient and we are not looking into detailed legislation, but we are looking at how these multi-agencies will work together to ensure that the fight against corruption is achieved. Corruption is a disease which is becoming sophisticated every day. As corruption becomes endemic and sophisticated, we ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have contributed to this critical debate. Secondly, there is enough evidence that this Policy is long overdue. For this country to succeed in the fight against corruption, we need this Policy up and running. Everything revolves around coordination and public goodwill in the fight against corruption. This Policy intends to address the issue of enough evidence. On that note, I am happy with the reception of the Members of Parliament to this. I urge the Members to drive this Policy together, so ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for making clarity on that. Just to add on one line, that issue, under the Parliamentary Service Act, the same person is accountable to the PSC. The person under the Joint Service is administratively accountable to Clerks of both Houses. In that sense, it is not creating another centre of power or usurping somebody else’s power. Let me come to the current issues. We should say thanks to this House for rising up to the occasion when it came to the amendments of this Bill. First, I look at the Companies Act ...

Currently, we are crying that there is a lot of backlog. We are crying for more judges and more hearing days and yet we have somebody sneaking in an amendment requiring the same magistrates and judges of the Court of Appeal to go on vacation for 90 days. That was uncalled for, and I want to say that I support this Bill because it ensures that the numbers of days on vacation are retained as they were. If necessary, we can reduce the number of days the Court of Appeal judges are going on vacation. There was an amendment on ...
