• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My point of order is a very serious matter. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: It is a matter bordering on the integrity of this House. Our Standing Orders do not allow a police officer or anybody to come and arrest anybody within the precincts of Parliament. I do not under-value what the Member of Parliament for Kwanza is saying, but I thought that this is a very serious matter. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers-- - view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The CID officers have invaded Parliament and arrested one of the journalists in the precincts of Parliament. I have no problem with journalists being arrested--- view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to bring it to the attention of the Chair. This is a very serious matter. view

• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, the information I have is that the CS is supposed to appear before the Budget and Appropriations Committee tomorrow.

• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: clear indication of a struggling Government. We do not expect that to happen when we are shown that there is economic growth in this country, unless that growth is only on paper. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view

I will not repeat what my colleagues have said with regard to the good provisions in this Bill. I agree that freedom of speech and debate is cardinal for our functions. Without that, this Parliament will not be able to execute its functions effectively. I am happy that through Hon. Keynan, the PSC has decided to put a clear definition of what precincts of Parliament mean. This will cushion Members ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: code of conduct regulating the conduct Members of the respective House of Parliament whilst within the precincts of that House other than the Chamber. There are two problems. The first one is that that Clause starts with the Speaker of the National Assembly and then it goes ahead to say that the relevant Speaker may, from time to time, as may be expedient, issue a code of conduct. If that Clause is talking about the Speaker of the National Assembly, then you cannot bring the two Houses under his ambit. Again, why do you give the Speaker the power to ... view
