• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you just heard the honourable Member who likes to call himself Nominee 001 make serious allegations and mislead this House that I am more of government. I do not know whether he has a “governmentometer” which he has used to measure how much government I am. This House has never had Opposition since 2013. What we have is minority and majority sides. I want to remind him that we are supposed to oversee this Executive as a House; not one side overseeing it. If you want to play the role of Executive and you have not ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: you have not been overseeing the Executive because that is your work. If you listened to my contribution here, and you will listen to my contribution when we will be debating the Budget Policy Statement… view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I wanted to lecture him a bit. He seems not to understand quite a lot. I just want to let him know that this House needs to oversee the Executive as a whole. Thank you. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Appreciating your ruling on the matter regarding the two Bills which have been forwarded from the Senate, I have just heard you mention that you have made a determination that the two are money Bills in the meaning of Article 114 of the Constitution. My question is: Why then would you refer those Bills to the Budget and Appropriations Committee? We are aware that Article 114 of the 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
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Constitution is clear that money Bills must only originate from the National Assembly. I appreciate that even the work of a committee of this House is equally important at the time that the committee is going to deal with a matter that is so clear and you have already made a determination. I am at a loss as to why it is necessary to refer the two Bills to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The best would be to tell the Senate that the two Bills could not originate from the Senate because the Constitution does not allow and that ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Speaker, as I sit down, my question was: Where is the sense of referring the two Bills to the Budget and Appropriations Committee while the Speaker has already determined that the two are money Bills? Thank you. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. Since we are just retaining the same Members who served in the last Session, there is not much that I want to say. I only wish that the Members of the House approve them, so that 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
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: they continue being Members of this Committee to know how important the issue of Members’ services and facilities are. When approving their membership in the last Session, we spoke a lot about Members’ services and facilities. I can see some attempted progress in terms of trying to refurbish some of the areas that we had complained about. It has been exaggerated in the media that we have a five-star hotel in Parliament. I am yet to see it. Maybe once it is done, I will see if it qualifies to even be equivalent to a three-star hotel. In short, we ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second the Motion because we are retaining the same membership of the Committee as it was in the last Session. I just have two things to say. First, I strongly believe that we need to have a committee in future that will look at the integrity of Members without a matter even being referred to them. We should have an integrity committee that looks at the integrity of Members and issues of corruption in this House. We cannot bury our heads in the sand. This House has received a beating in the past regarding issues ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the issue of dress code is a matter that this House needs to deal with seriously. This is not the first time it has come up especially in the 12th Parliament. I have been here for a while. This matter was not so serious in the 10th Parliament. I do not know why it has become such an important matter now that Members feel that the traditional way of dressing is chocking them. view
