• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you closely read clauses 8 to 12 you will see timelines. I want to save the House the inconvenience of having to read all that. I invite Members to go through those clauses carefully. You will notice that the timelines set out in those clauses clearly make it impossible for a party member to exercise the fundamental right which I raised last week. In view of that, I want to seek your direction: Is it proper for this House to continue to debate this amendment Bill in the present form, when it contradicts what the ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I want to appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this Report. However, there is a matter that I thought you should guide the House on because this Report contains proposals to amend the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act, and to create the Election Offences Act. These amendments are so grave that I thought the Chair could give direction on how we should handle them. The proposer of the Motion did not touch on their legality, but Hon.

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I want to refer specifically to Chapter 4, Article 19(2) of the Constitution, which says that:- “The purpose of recognising and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms is to preserve the dignity of individuals and communities and to promote social justice and the realisation of the potential of all human beings.” Following on that is Article 20(2) of the Constitution on the application of the Bill of Rights, which says:- “Every person shall enjoy the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights to the greatest extent consistent with the nature of the right or fundamental freedom.” view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I move to Article 36(1) of the Constitution, on freedom of association, which says:- “Every person has the right to freedom of association, which includes the right to form, join or participate in the activities of an association of any kind.” view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, arising from the provisions that I have quoted, would it not be in order for you to guide the House in saying that, even if this Report is passed in the present form, it does not become law until it complies with the Constitution? view

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for listening to my point of order and to the points of order from the other Members arising from the same issue. I can now say exactly what I wanted to say but did not say it that time. What I find offensive, which is the basis on which I raised an objection, is on page 215 of this Report. I would really hate to see this House throwing away the baby with the bath water. This Report is good except for what I raised. I would want this Report passed without the ... view
