• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator who requested for this Statement is not in the House. However, I seek leave to nonetheless read the Statement, unless you direct otherwise. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in keeping with precedence normally the Member who requested for the statement needs to be in the House when it is being presented. In this case, Sen. Sonko is not in the House, but I have the Statement ready. It was ready even yesterday and this matter was in yesterday’s Order Paper. I, therefore, seek leave to proceed with it. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: It is okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that Sen. (Dr.) Machage, who is a Member of the Speaker’s Panel, directed at one point that this Statement be issued the following day, whether or not Sen. Sonko was in the House. He declared that the Statement was the property of the House. That is why I was seeking your guidance on whether or not to proceed. I would be quite happy to proceed because it is not a very long Statement. Again, the matter in question may be of interest to this House. The Standard ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas the responsibility may be on me, the onus to direct what comes on the Order Paper is on the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) and whoever will be seated where you are on that particular day. I rest my case. Otherwise, I will be ready to proceed as directed. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Thursday, 30th June, 2016:- Report on the Forest Conservation and Management Bill 2015 (National Assembly Bill No.49) of 2015. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after clause 9 — Procedure for approval 9A. (1) The process of approval of an agreement shall by Parliament. commence in the National Assembly. (2) The National Assembly shall consider an agreement within thirty days of its submission to the National Assembly and shall forward its resolution to the Senate for consideration. (3) If within thirty days of submission of an agreement to the National Assembly, the National Assembly has not forwarded its resolution on the agreement to the Senate, ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, we considered the content of what my brother, the Senator, has raised. The issue here is that the ratification being sought maybe of a national nature. To avoid a situation where we have a stalemate between the two Houses, the Senate may be at liberty to take up a matter which, in its opinion, has already taken 30 days. That, again, would be a good thing because it was to seal any gaps, where the applicant will assume that the matter has been concluded by lack of activity by the National Assembly, unless both the National ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I may not have understood what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is asking. I understood Sen. Musila to ask: “What if after 30 days the matter has already closed because the National Assembly has not acted?” We will not wait indefinitely for the National Assembly; we will wait for only 30 days. If within 30 days they will not have sent the matter to us, we will take it upon ourselves to debate it. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- That the Schedule be amended by – (a)deleting the tenth row that provides for “Genetic material”; and, (b) deleting the eleventh row that provides for “Genetic Resources”. The reason for deleting these two lines from the Schedule is that we heard many presentations from all professionals – universities and research institutions – and they gave us a lot of information on the dangers of restricting the way research is done on genetic materials and resources. I do not think it is even worthwhile to go through a lot of discussion on this ... view
