• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Okay, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I support limited to that alteration. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I propose an amendment to the New Clause 2E(1) by seeking to insert the word "public" immediately after the word "or" so that it reads "all public establishments shall seek to represent" and in Clause 2E(2) introducing the word "public" immediately after the word "no"; so that it reads "no public establishment". I would want to persuade my colleague that it is not constitutionally tenable to force private enterprises or individuals to recruit people on the basis of ethnicity. That should be left to public enterprises and I gave an example of impracticability of enforcement. ... view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to persuade the House that it is better we restrict this law to public enterprises and we leave the rest to the market. It would bring complications in application. If we were to require public enterprises to go that way, in any event as the Commission being introduced gets to work, should we find a suitable mode of applying that, these are amendments that can come in later but for now it seems to be transgressing on private constitutional rights. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we have already passed it. view

May I, therefore, propose that we drop the two earlier amendments and amend Clause 2E(6) to read:- THAT, Clause 2B and Subsections (4) and (5) do not apply to employment for purposes of a private enterprise. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: That is correct, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: 3690 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 27, 2008 view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not have any objection to this. However, I would urge hon. Members to consider the many private clubs which are not for public but certain category of 3692 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 27, 2008 membership and whether this section would in any way offend that. Otherwise, in my view, it is not a harmful clause. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is largely intended for public bodies and is quite suitable. I support. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Okay. view
