• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I was a bit concerned with the remarks made by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade with regard to his reference to the report from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission as being petty. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Article 79 of our Constitution says:- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: “Parliament shall enact legislation to establish an independent ethics and anti-corruption commission, which shall be and have the status and powers of a commission under Chapter Fifteen, for purposes of ensuring compliance with, and enforcement of, the provisions of this Chapter.” view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Constitution is not ambiguous. It is very explicit that the responsibility of ensuring compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution with regard to integrity is the sole responsibility of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. Therefore, I find it a bit demeaning and compromising the status and independence of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to refer to a letter or an opinion from the same Commission as petty. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We may disagree with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission but it will be wrong for this House to have it on record that we describe the response from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission as petty reaction or petty opinion. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I urge that you find the Chairman out of order. I request that whatever he said with regard to pettiness be expunged from the records of the House. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: --- (off-record) view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would really not want to interrupt hon. Gichigi because he is usually a very articulate Member of Parliament, whom I admire. However, this Report is very clear. The reasons as to why the Committee has rejected these nominations are properly documented. If the Chairperson of this Committee continues this way, we may recommend her for bigger positions in future. She has put her case very well. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, our Standing Orders allow that in an event like this one, I would request the Chair to call upon the Mover to reply, and then the House can grant that leave. view
