Personally, I do not like being a hypocrite. Why can we not just put this Bill to the vote and then we do away with it, because it appears that there is no interest in it. I am suggesting, with your indulgence, that you call the---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister, in his submissions, did say that they are still giving room for public complaints. But I thought that this exercise was carried out methodologically and determined. Why are you again playing politics with it?

17 Nov 2009 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. I would like to inform the Minister that we have just started debating this Bill; he should allow us to debate. We have issues to raise. Therefore, let us debate the Bill. This Bill should have been passed even before we went on recess, were it not for the standoff between the Executive and Parliament, which was for a good cause. I believe that this country needs the money. This House needs to give various Government Ministries and Departments money to function. If you had an opportunity, I ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With a heavy heart, this Bill is very important, given that it has far-reaching effects on this country but looking around, I do not think the Quorum in this House is adequate enough to give this Bill enough attention.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for literary pulling the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance into the House. For the third time, I beg to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice.

16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Budget process involves the line Ministries and various departments forwarding their Budget Estimates to the Ministry which then rationalises the same and compiles the Annual Budget Estimates. Who asked for this money from the Ministry of Finance? We all know the CDF funds are governed by an Act of Parliament. Where is an Act governing this particular fund?

16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Minister presented his Budget here on 11th of June, he talked about economic stimulus and specifically he said that the economic stimulus package will go through line Ministries. These special interest groups are represented by line Ministries. Why did the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance not see it fit to allocate these monies also through the line Ministries as he did with the economic stimulus package? Why did he see it fit to give it as pocket money to the nominated Members of Parliament?
