Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. This is just to ask whether we can get a clarification from the Committee so that we do not just vote. Let us hear why they think it is necessary to have two members.

15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to concur with quite a number of people who have spoken before me. We have an issue of child trafficking in this country. Even as we want to address that issue, it is necessary that we do it in a tidy manner. I know we supported and opposed some of the amendments we dealt with in the morning. We seem to have given authority to a body that did not have statutory powers. We are placing it above the institutions that are under the Public Service Commission. The problem is where we ...

I do not want to agree with Hon. Kaluma but you can easily be reduced to a voting machine which is not a very good thing, because you do not want to disagree with issues but you also do not want to agree with issues in a manner that is not quite civil.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, allow me to just declare that my brother is a Vice-Chancellor. It is unfortunate that Hon. Millie dropped her amendment. In fact, she has done us a lot of disservice. She has an efficient clerk here who is saying “delete everything”. He has now deleted even some important amendments.

15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
This five years term is not adequate for a Vice-Chancellor to impact a university. The amendments that have been proposed by the Departmental Committee on Education and Research are introducing unnecessary political lobbying into these positions.

wanted to go with the five years if Hon. Millie had not dropped deleting it earlier. If there was a way of bringing it back, that would have been a better way.
