  • 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I regret to interrupt but the level of consultations, especially on my right side are such that I cannot comprehend what hon. Kamanda is saying. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to these important amendments. From the outset, I would like to thank hon. Sakaja for bringing the amendments to Parliament. I would like to say that this is a Bill which is long overdue. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As we debate these amendments, I would like to say that we need to critically look at the Public Procurement and Disposal Act in future. That is because there are some aspects of this Act that are not good for the business of today. It gives more emphasis to procedures and processes. At the end of the day, it is not something that is compatible with today’s life. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to say that if we do this, hon. Sakaja should take into cognizance the views that we have expressed here, first to ring fence women and persons with disabilities. Secondly, we need to ask the banks to start products that are friendly to the youth and women of this country. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, because I want to give a chance to my colleagues, I want to inform the youth that they should not get used to “come-easy, go-easy money”. I want to remind them that it is in business and procurement that they will find the goose that lays the golden egg. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
  • 11 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. May I join my colleagues also to wish you a happy new year and the rest of us. We believe that 2014 should be a year in which we will perform better than we did in 2013. view
  • 11 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As I rise to support this Motion, I wish to join my colleagues by saying that every Member of Parliament is qualified to join any committee of the House. Where there is deficiency in a particular committee, both the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party should draw names from their party lists so that committees are able to work. view
  • 11 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I regret that certain committees of the House are not operational. For example, I chose to be in the Joint Committee on Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library hoping that I was going to discharge my professional responsibilities in that committee. However, since Parliament came into session, that committee has remained moribund. I have walked, on several occasions, to the Leader of Majority Party’s office until I have lost hope. My desire would probably be that I could move to another committee so that I can discharge my responsibilities in, at least, one committee. view
  • 11 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I beg to support. view
