• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I request my friend to withdraw this amendment. I oppose it because this Bill did not just originate from nowhere. Actually, in the last Parliament, this Bill had been passed. It was taken to the Cabinet, where it was discussed. The bottom line is that it was in line with the other benefits provided for offices like the Office of the President, which already is enjoying this benefit. Even the Budget and Appropriations Committee considered all these details at length. What needed to have been removed was removed. The Budget and Appropriations Committee, in consultation with ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the proposed amendment is to delete the word, “Designated State Officer”, the definition of “retired Designated State Officer” and the words “retired Speaker” because we agreed to first define the officers by name. We have defined the office of the Speaker, former Prime Minister and Vice President. Therefore, the word, “designated” is irrelevant. That is what this amendment seeks to achieve. The amendment is also proposing to delete the definition of “Speaker” because now you have already put the Speaker who is defined in the Constitution. So, you do not need to again define it. That ... view

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I am moving. You cannot propose before I move and it is seconded. I wanted to say two things. First, I would like to thank this House and especially the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which considered this Bill extensively. Actually, there was a time, and I want to say this off-record, that I went to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to defend this Bill and its amendments. I went thinking that it is going to be combative and I was so disarmed by the Committee. The amendments in this Bill received unanimous consensus that I did not even expect. I ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have the privilege of being a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. So, at least, I got to know about this Communication earlier. I am largely agreeable to the recommendations of the National Treasury. Looking at the body of the Bill, the two offices of Prime Minister and Vice-President are actually captured as offices that are in transition. We are not likely to have offices of Prime Minister and Vice-President in the foreseeable future. So, I generally agree with the transition. I just want to point out that this Bill is slotted for consideration by a ... view
