• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am no longer in law class. The first thing I want us to appreciate is that we are here on a special gazettted day. Being a special gazetted day, we are sitting on a Friday, it is not even the normal sitting day because we had to beat constitutional or legal timelines. Standing Order No.54(3) says:- “Despite paragraph (2) the Speaker may, on the request of a Senator, defer the putting of the question to the following day, in which case the Speaker shall thereupon nominate a time of which the question shall be put.” The ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my position is known and we cannot go back to that. The danger here is that you have made a ruling. However much we may not agree with your ruling, it can only be varied another day, although Sen. Wetangula, referring to Lord Denning, had eloquently expressed a possibility of one changing his mind even midway. That day may not have come today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, considering that you have made you decision so that we can move forward, and you have never let us down in the past, so that even the day we disagree with ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only basis I made that decision is so that instead of the earlier ruling that we sit until we finish the business, we use the Standing Orders to say that the business that was going on continue tomorrow so that we do not have to go through the rigors of gazetting. Although you made your ruling at 5.53 p.m. today to extend the sitting of the House until we conclude business, I suggest that we make a decision under the Standing Order No.99, that the House do now adjourn until tomorrow morning as part of continuation ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because you gave us your window and because it is important for us to progress and we are the Senate; and decisions are made in this House; they do not have to wait for gazettement to take effect. The gazette is a notice to the public. The people to be given notice are seated there and this House can make that decision now without being invited to come here with a gazette notice. I am requesting my colleagues that we make the decision to vote tomorrow at nine and get finished with this matter. What is the ... view
