• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I was just pleading with my colleagues that before we effect hurried amendments, we must take into consideration the fact that these amendments were considered extensively by the Committee. On the amendment by hon. Lessonet, we must be very categorical when we provide for two nominees by the President and two nominees by the Prime Minister; that one must be a woman and one must be a man. If we bring on board paragraphs (c) and (d) without specifying that one should be of either gender, we will be negating what we ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the first Schedule be amended by inserting the following new paragraph after paragraph 1- (1A) The chairperson and members of the Selection Panel shall, before assuming office, take and subscribe the oath or affirmation of office prescribed in the Third Schedule. Mr. Chairman, Sir, what I intend to achieve with this amendment is to bring the members of the selection panel also to take oath of office. If you look at the oath of office prescribed in the Third Schedule, it is only the commissioners who are supposed to be subjected to ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment for two reasons. One, this Parliament is supposed to vet and approve appointments from the President. We cannot approve then it goes to the President and then it again comes back to Parliament. The procedure has always been that appointment is made and then we approve as Parliament. I do not understand why this should be changed. More importantly, is the amendment proposed under (b). We had discussed this matter earlier. It is like we are again insisting that out of the nine Commissioners who will be appointed, it is already ... view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: THAT the Third Schedule be amended- (a) in the title by deleting the word “Commission” appearing after the words “Secretary of the” and substituting therefor the words “Commission/Selection Panel; (b) in the text of the oath by deleting the words “Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission” appearing after the words “(the chairperson/member of/secretary to) the” and substituting therefor the words “(Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission/Selection Panel)”. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, this is a very harmless amendment. Third Schedule prescribes the oath of office. Since my previous amendment had been approved, I have just amended to include “selection panel”, after “Commissioners” and the “Secretary”. So, members of the said selection panel will also be subjected to the oath. Basically, that is my amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the amendment because the functions are those of the Commission, and not of an individual. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, the Ligale Report was annexed to the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs which was tabled here. We debated and adopted the Report. So, you cannot, again, say that the Report was just tabled. If it was tabled, it means that it is awaiting adoption. However, what we are saying is that the Report was adopted together with the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment fully. This is because saying, “…the boundaries on the first review as tabled before the National Assembly” ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. There is an amendment under Clause 12(c) by hon. Kaloki, which I did not hear him move! The only amendment we disposed of was at Clause 12(a). This is a completely different subject. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment by the Minister. Clause 20(2) should not be deleted. If the money is unspent, it should be carried forward to the next financial year. view
