• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Office of the President. So, the only advice I will give is that the Prisons Management should look for petty offenders as opposed to the so called hardcore criminals. It is the prisons officers who must give advice on those criminals who are supposed to be released or those who are supposed to be pardoned by the President. It is not the Office of the President. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will work hand in hand with the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs. We will advise them to at least suggest names of petty offenders as opposed to hardcore criminals. Ordinarily, the law will take its course; if the hardcore criminals are released, they will be taken back to the prisons once they have been arrested. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: We will advise the Ministry in charge of matters related to prisons. Thank you. view

• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to advise my colleague that they need to fast-track this case because it has been lagging behind since 1994. I will make sure, whatever the court decides, that I fast-track it so that the family members can get this money. I am, however, very grateful that he brought up this issue. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologize to the Chair for absenting ourselves last Thursday. I was not in the House on Thursday and the Speaker directed that we have first to apologize before we transact any business.

• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter is not as simple as the Questioner tends to put it. Can I give the chronology of what actually happened between 2007 and 2009? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is where I was coming to. If he had left me to continue, I would have said the same thing. However, let me also give the hon. Member, who is a friend, some chronology. Between 2007 and 2009, suspected criminals dug up and stole 229 pipes which had been laid.

• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we can use the photographs as exhibits. If they want to use the pipes, let them write a letter in order for us to release those pipes to be used by the community immediately. That is a simple thing. view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, you require a letter for anything which is contained as an exhibit. If I received a letter from them asking us to release those pipes, I will also do a letter asking the police to release them. Anything that has been taken as an exhibit, I cannot give an order verbally. Let me get a letter from the Questioner in order for the community to use those pipes. view
