• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: I have also sat in this seat when we were going through the impeachment of a governor through the Plenary process as by Standing Order No. 80. By then, it was a different Standing Order. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: On that particular day, I agonized while sitting here; I was unable to read the charges. That is when, speaking to my colleagues, they told me I was being reduced to becoming a judge. This is indeed a political process. view

It requires you to pay attention to the charges and make sure they are substantiated, if indeed there is a charge. The Senate does not impeach; it comes to confirm the impeachment or gives the deputy governor an opportunity. We have heard of the charges, not here, but before that involved us to engage the Controller of Budget (CoB). It will be impossible to do that sitting in Plenary. view

I know that he had put a disclaimer to say that he does not intend to impute improper motives on the Committee, neither does he wish to impute improper motives on the secretariat.

Knowing the way we transact business here, they will come here to debate and say that this Bill should be corrected and pass the Second Reading. Unless he brings amendments to correct those errors, ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: he should substantiate all those issues he has talked about or we put this Bill aside, so that we look into it later. Whatever comes out of this House--- I may have my reservations on the Bill. However, if you paid close attention to the sentiments by the Chairperson of the Committee on PISF, then that Bill will leave a lot to be desired on how we operate business. view
