• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I understand where the Chair is coming from. But even as I indulge the Chair whom I recognize is my great friend - I can give him the two weeks.

• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: some urgent measures could be taken--- He does not have to bring the answer before some action is taken on the road. That is what I would request that, some action be taken even as I wait for the formal response to this issue. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I was just wondering because previously we have dealt with proposed amendments on a clause before. If they are two, we handle one at a time. That is because I do not have an issue with the first one, but I have an issue on the second one. If you allow me - and I am not a lawyer - I have never heard of any legislation where you put “not less than”. It is usually “not more than” in terms of fines. This is going to be the first legislation ... view

• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to say, with a lot of humility, that this is a House of rules.

For those who are in doubt, I think we need to ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, that Committee is the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It has a constitutional mandate and responsibility to discuss and propose a report to the National Assembly on any proposed expenditure by the Government.
