• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have dealt with that question very well. I said that according to the listing which we have on the Waki Commission, he is not listed as a witness. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned earlier on, there are some witnesses who were secretly moved out of the country. I have heard this and I cannot say that it is an authentic Government statement because I am not aware whether the fellow was listed as a secret witness. However, I would like to assure this House that we are doing everything possible to get the ... view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question had already been answered exhaustively. What was remaining was for the Disciplinary Committee to sit and decide on whether to reinstate this particular officer to his rank or let him remain as an Inspector. Since the Disciplinary Committee has not constituted the hearings of cases of indiscipline, I would request that we wait for some time and then I will report to the House the outcome of the committee. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, true. But when you want somebody to be promoted after being demoted--- If we were to go that way, I think we are following a wrong direction because--- view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this officer was a Chief Inspector. He was found drunk and disorderly. Later on, he was transferred from his previous station.

• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes, I am at a loss especially on matters dealing with indiscipline. I assured the House that within two weeks, we would deal with this matter. We could not have dealt with the matter because the disciplinary team had not sat. So, that is why I am asking for more time so that the team can sit and peruse all the papers that have been tabled here. I also need to see the additional papers he has tabled in order to assist that particular officer. view
• 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Instead of having it on Tuesday, I would request that we have it on Wednesday morning. This is because I will be away. I will come back on Tuesday evening. view
