• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I am not saying that my brother here has put up one. That is an example I have given. How on earth would you have a clerk working eight hours in an office, not doing any business that can be seen putting up a huge hotel and constructing huge houses for three wives? Immediately they got these jobs, they married two more wives and have concubines. They also have a fleet of motor vehicles. When you observe them, you cannot help but ask whether they are serious or not. That is why most of these governors, if you noticed, struggled ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, the national Government... I do not talk much because I cannot talk to a Government that is not clearly in place. But it will be in place. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Even those who believe that the President was sworn still know there is no Cabinet. It will be put in place soon. So, those of us who do not expect a Cabinet know that there is no President who has been sworn in. In fact, we soon expect another serious swearing in to take place. Thank you very much. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is really hilarious. I just want to say that I have no problem at all with your Communication. We have interacted on this matter both informally and now formally. We are alive to the provisions of Standing Order 20. I want to repeat here that NASA is a coalition recognised by law. It is a coalition of parties. Therefore, we qualify to be a political party, in terms of coalition. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just wanted to say that our coalition has been in consultation and discussion on the matter of leadership in the House – both the National Assembly and the Senate. I know that you have received some communication, which we discussed previously. I am aware that finally, the coalition was very clear on the leadership of the Minority Leader in both Houses. However, today, I hear from the Communication from the Chair – which I respect – that our communication did not come out properly. We are actually alive to the provisions of Standing Order 20; that in ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think this is not the first time that this matter is coming up on the issue of Article 108. I just want to mention two things. One, the Senate is a separate chamber from the National Assembly. I know that the Constitution in Article 108 talks about the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. Actually, it uses the article “the”, which in English means one. We must also look at the spirit of the Constitution. If you have two chambers and then you make one chamber to have the ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: On that basis, I think the Senate created the two positions through Standing Orders which are allowed by the Constitution. We can create Standing Orders to regulate the conduct of the business in the House. I think Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Wetangula are perfectly occupying their positions if the Standing Orders recognise them. Yes! Sen. Wetangula because on the issue of Communication, I assume the Hon. Speaker was referring to the National Assembly and he is not privy to what is going on in the Senate. Probably, in the Senate, the NASA Coalition has communicated properly. Maybe, that Communication is ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just want you to ignore this point of order and treat it as irrelevant. I know he raised it because you are the Chair of the Parliamentary Service Commission. I want to address that you are perfectly in order to pay the two their allowances, if at all there are any allowance attached to those positions and provide facilities to those offices because the Standing Orders of the Senate has created those two positions. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am grateful in making my maiden speech as the Leader of the Minority Party in the 12th Parliament of the National Assembly. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to make my contribution to this Motion that has been moved pursuant to Standing Order No.33 regarding a matter of national importance and which is urgent. I understand from the contributions that this House has seen it fit to discuss the last general election that took place on 8th August 2017. view
