• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Administration and National Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Luanda Police Station and its satellite police posts in Emuhaya Constituency have no police lines? (b) Is he further aware that the many police officers at the aforesaid stations have to operate from lodgings? (c) What immediate action will the Minister take to remedy the situation? view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for the answer by the Assistant Minister. But this answer does not give any hope for Luanda Police Station, which is a full-fledged police station. Luanda Town Council has already identified land which is immediately available. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that they can commence construction of police lines in a matter of two to three months if I gave them a letter of allotment for this land? view
• 2 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the answers the Assistant Minister has given, it is apparent that he is not conversant with the prevailing accommodation circumstances of police officers attached to Luanda Police Station. Could he undertake to visit that police station? If he finds that those officers live in boarding and lodging houses, which is the case, he should correct that situation urgently; otherwise, they pose a danger instead of offering security. view

• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am also obliged for the direction which you have given. You have indicated that the House has no role to play in this process going by previous precedence as recorded in the HANSARD. However, article 50 of the East African Treaty governs this exercise. This is the treaty which establishes the East African Legislative Assembly. In Article 50, it is expressly provided that the "National Assembly of each partner States shall elect". These are the key words. That process, therefore, is expected by that article to be elective. So, that if ... view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With regard to expediting disposal of land cases, the Minister has not given a satisfactory answer to part "a" of the Question. She answered it in a very generalised terms. Could she be categorical and give specific and concrete measures that her Ministry has taken to ensure expeditious disposal of land cases? view
• 25 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education on the ongoing strike by lecturers of public universities. In the Ministerial Statement, the Minister should clarify why it was not possible to avert the strike. Secondly, he should clarify why the problem appears to be recurring and the Ministry seems to be helpless. Thirdly, could the Minister rationalize and harmonize salaries of university lecturers with other sectors of the Government that take personnel of equivalent qualifications? Fourth, what amount of money accrues from the Parallel Degree Programme ... view
• 19 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Minister prepared to consider urgently putting in place specifications which these bicycles should comply with so as to avoid accidents, a lot of which are attributable to those bicycles being unroadworthy and rickety? view

The PAC found that although the contracts are, on the face of it, unlawful and/or fraudulent, they have not been terminated. What action has the Minister taken to ensure that these contracts are terminated so that the Government does not suffer any further losses? view
