I only wish to say I think this is a good compromise on the part of the Government, or the Ministry, and the rest of the hon. Members of this House; we now agree to amend this Motion, so that one can access up to a maximum of 50 per cent of the employer’s contribution in the event that the person leaves employment before the age of 50 years, and at the same time he has ... view
• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Vote of this Ministry.

• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: In support of the amended Motion, I have one thing that I agree with the Mover of the original Motion; that, we really need to have uniformity in land tenure and ownership in this country, regardless of whether it is a settlement or not a settlement scheme. The issue of land ownership in this country is really confusing to many of us. We do not even understand why land lease is given for 999 years.

• 5 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: A lot has been said about reforms in the lands sector. The land sector still needs a lot of reforms. The Minister must have taken over with a lot of zeal because he is view
• 4 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Depty Speaker, Sir. I heard the Minister say that the meeting of AGOA is very important and it takes precedence over parliamentary proceedings. Last week, the Chair ruled that parliamentary business takes precedence over any other function.

• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to my friend, the hon.
