• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: I beg to move: That, Clause 96 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4)(b) by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefor the word “Secretary”. This is a nomenclature change where “director” is being replaced with “secretary” as it is. view

• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: I beg to move: That, Clause 98 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “or chronic illness” after the word “disability” in paragraph (b).

• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: That, Clause 99 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) by deleting the words “in any case where the child is charged with any of the offences under the Seventh Schedule”. We are only ensuring that all children in conflict with the law receive legal representation, not selectively as it is. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I am moving an amendment to Clause 99, which seeks to delete the words ‘in any case where the child is charged with any of the offences under the Seventh Schedule’. We are proposing to delete all that. When we include all that, it is like saying that when the child has been charged under the Seventh Schedule, then that child does not get legal services. It is exactly the way it is. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 100 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (2) — (3) Where the court orders or summons an expert pursuant to subsection (1), a party to the proceedings shall be given an opportunity to submit their views before the court makes an order. This is necessitated by the fact that a court conducting proceedings sometimes calls for an expert report, which at times is not provided to all parties. This goes against the tenets of a fair hearing and trial. The proposed ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended by deleting clause 101 and substituting therefor the following new clause — Appointment of guardian ad litem. 101. A court before which a child is brought, and especially where that child is not represented by an advocate, may appoint guardian ad litem for the purposes of the proceedings in question and to safeguard the interests of the child. This is to enhance clarity on the provision. As drafted in the Bill, it is likely to create confusion for the end user. Let all children benefit from this ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 105 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (4) by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefor the word “Secretary”. Here is a nomenclature change whereby the Directorate of Children Services is now headed by Secretary and not Director. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Whereas we do not have any problem with the first amendments, the second one on the presumptive guardian does not seem to have been used anywhere in the Bill or if it is, maybe the Hon. Member could refer us to the page where it is used. view
