• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the amendment. The functions that have been bestowed upon this Commission are functions which will be carried out throughout the year. The moment we start saying that the Commissioners will serve on part-time basis, they will not be able to fulfill these particular functions. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think we are basically discussing a Commission that was set up even without a law in place. The Government has already seconded some staff to it.

• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to comment on the recall Clause. As hon. Kamama has said, let us raise the bar, so that people do not misuse it. Let us put it at 50 per cent. Lastly, on nomination of candidates, the Bill proposes post-secondary school qualifications for all electoral positions, but can we clarify this further and have separate qualifications for parliamentary candidates, presidential candidates and governorship candidates? view
