• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to oppose this amendment. To me, this looks like we are weakening the Commission. If you look at the powers that are given to the Commission on Revenue Allocation by the Constitution, you will realise that the Commission is actually taking power from the Treasury. Therefore, I do not think this House should allow the weakening of this Commission to an extent that the Treasury will roll over this Commission. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Saying that the Commissioners will perform their functions in accordance with Article 216, to me, is superfluous. It is already known that the Commission will have to work in accordance with Article 216. So, I wish to oppose the amendment and urge this House not to weaken this Commission. Let us allow this Commission to have the powers to perform its duties. This is the Commission that will even decide how revenue will be allocated in this country. view

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is it in order for Dr. Nuh, whose profession I respect very much, to insinuate that finance is just adding one plus one is equal to two, minus one, when I took so many years to study finance? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, one of the reasons why you find a Member of Parliament is nominated by a Party, and the following day, he or she opposes the principles and policies of that party is because we nominate Members who do not believe in parties. It is important that we put a threshold where Members who are nominated by political parties, should be in those parties and take time to understand what the manifestos, principles and policies of those parties are all about. Therefore, I oppose this amendment. It is a very dangerous amendment. My colleague hon. Nuh is ... view
