• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this amendment especially on the upper limit of 12 times. If you go to Clause 6(4) which is in the same amendment, there is this other provision which says: “The chairperson may at any time convene a special meeting---” Therefore, if we have the “at least four times” and they meet six or seven times, that can be catered for because the Chairman will convene any other meeting. I am opposing the upper limit of 12 times because those meetings may not be necessary. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment, especially on the inclusion of the KEFRI Director to the Board of Management of KFS. He has professional expertise that he will be taking to the board. Forest management is a very serious issue because we are struggling to get the 10 per cent forest cover. This person will be giving a lot of professional expertise to the board. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Chairperson and the Committee on 10 years’ experience for the chairmanship because a chairman of a parastatal should be somebody who can guide it, but not an employee. If we are looking for a Managing Director, we can get a graduate with five years’ experience. The chairman of this corporation should be somebody who has more years of experience. If the requirement for the Managing Director is 10 years’ experience, we should reduce it to five years and retain the experience of the chairman of the parastatal at 10 years, so that they can guide the parastatal ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the issue of the Environmental Protection Bond. However, the Cabinet Secretary, in consultation with the KFS Board, should determine the amount of money to be paid as the Environmental Protection Bond. Instead of leaving this to one person, the Cabinet Secretary, in consultation with the KFS Board, can determine the amount to be paid as the Environmental Protection Bond. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I had the same expressions because this is a very sad day for this House. We are degazetting public land on the Floor of the House. Therefore, mine is just a comment that we really need to rethink even the forest land in Bangali. As a Committee, we did not even recommend degazettement of that forest. 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
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for this opportunity. I support the amendments by the Committee especially the amendment to Clause 9(1)(a). We need a person who is well qualified to head this institution. Therefore, having somebody who is worthy of appointment as a judge of the High Court is a worthy amendment. Those who are not in the legal practice sometimes fail to understand who really qualifies to be appointed as a judge of the High Court. In future, for the benefit of those who are not learned friends, they should tell us the number of years of service ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Initially, I was wondering whether you have a challenge with your vision because we are a bit far. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support this clause and say that potato farmers will not be exploited by merchants. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue I want to mention is about the fertilisers that we import, especially for tea farmers. The people who supply the fertilisers give us 46 kilogrammes instead of 50 kilogrammes. In that aspect, they should also check on the quantity of the fertilisers and other farm inputs that are supplied to farmers. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with those remarks, I beg to support and apologise for my comment about you. It was on a light touch. view
