• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: because what they have come up with is a general policy that affects all farmers worldwide. The economics of Livingstone and Ord talk about fluctuating prices of agricultural products each year. Each time they produce more, the prices go down and the following year, the same happens. So this is a safeguard for the farmers who are producing these agricultural crops. More importantly, I would want to urge those Members who will be picked for other mediation sessions with the Senate to go there with an open eye. I want to particularly make mention about the Division of Revenue Bill ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to contribute to this Bill by identifying three areas. One is the Merchant Shipping Act. Like already indicated by earlier speakers, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill or the omnibus as we talked about it in the morning, is being used to sneak in certain laws, which will advantage certain groups of people, maybe business people or companies that have vested interest in certain areas. On this particular Act, the powers that should be vested in the institution of Parliament are being surrendered to a Cabinet Secretary who can change it anytime. Therefore, from ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: defines how a worker – because these judges are simply workers- should take and proceed for leave. Therefore, this again will be interference with another arm of Government. Hon. Speaker, with those many remarks, I want to support but I look forward to these amendments being put forward by other Members and I. Thank you. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Just one minute. In fact, I had raised my eyebrow because I thought it was an extension of his term of service. If it is experience for the chair, 10 years is very good. It needs to be a very mature person. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you so much and thank you Chair of the Committee because the issue of Member of Parliament and MCA, like it has been very well stated by the Leader of the Majority Party, is a stigma. This change is a general one for everybody. I have loved the way the Leader of the Majority Party has talked. In fact, in future, the Leader of the Majority Party you should remember not to stigmatise trade unions so that they also operate in this space. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, thank you for this amendment, I hope the Leader of the Majority Party will also proceed to members of trade unions. Do not stigmatise us. We must also be free to operate. This is a very good amendment. Thank you. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. I have seen you enquiring a little bit more even on what has just happened. First, I think both Hon. Sossion and I were not in the witness box. In all cases, there were representatives of the unions who were speaking for the unions. We remained as Members of the Committee and the Chair, who is here, guided us very clearly that we were to declare interest as per Standing Order No.90. He guided us further that once interest is declared one may speak ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: state of emergency. They were the ones who, at one point, took over the leadership of the political movements in the absence of political parties. If look at the histories of Standing Orders, you will find that the first Standing Orders of this House were sponsored by a trade union movement that was based in Germany. Therefore, the trade union movement and Parliament are compatible. I wanted to say that pecuniary interest, which you have referred to, is a matter where there is reasonable likelihood of appreciable financial loss or gain to a person. In the matter that we were ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. Therefore, this is what Parliament should enhance. It should not gag experts in particular areas for one reason or another. In this case, I want to submit that it all rests on our Chair to provide leadership within the Committee. If he told me “you are out of order, Hon. Omboko”, I would oblige. I have three options, either declare interest according to Standing Order No.90 or speak; to keep quiet continuously, or to appear as a witness, which I can do in this instance. The fourth option is to follow the orders as directed by ... view
