• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I am happy with the later statement of the Minister, although he is not the appointing authority, I know very well that it is the Minister in charge of the docket who helps in the preparation of gazette notices and who pushes for the gazettement. It is his duty to remind the appointing authority. So, is he in order to try and move away from his responsibility although he has now admitted that he will do it? So, what I am seeking from him is an undertaking that he will ensure that the process ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join the Prime Minister in paying tribute to ourselves as the Tenth Parliament.

• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 4th December, I requested a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Lands as to why the Land Commission has not yet been gazetted in spite of the conclusion of pending court cases that were hindering the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know that land is one of the very hot issues, and it is feared that there may be elements in the Government who do not want the Land Commission gazetted. I again rose on 6th December to ask about the same and it was communicated to the Assistant Minister for Lands but to date, the ... view

• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to present a petition from Amkeni Retirees CBO on behalf of Government pensioners.
