• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the clause, but with a slight amendment. You will note that Clause 39 says:- "If the Commission considers it reasonably possible that a complaint may be conciliated successfully, the Commission shall refer the complaint to the Commission Secretary". The power in this Act is to the Commission and the Secretary is an employee of the Commission. So, all I am suggesting that, it should read:- "The Commission shall refer the complaint--" view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: It should be to "a Commissioner" and not "the Secretary". view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move an amendment to the new Clause 39(1) by deleting it and replacing it with the following new Clause 39(1):- "If the Commission considers it reasonably possible that a complaint may be conciliated successfully, the Commission shall designate one of its Commissioners to conciliate." view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I welcome that clarity. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will be proposing similar amendments to Clauses 41, 42 and 43 by deleting the words "Commission Secretary" and replacing with "Commissioner," and it can be one or more Commissioners. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: November 27, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3705 view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we would be able to do it specifically. For instance, in New Clause 41, the new words should be "A Commission or Commissioner shall make all reasonable endeavour to conciliate---" view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to amend New Clause 41. I have just benefitted from the advice of the Attorney-General that we just delete the word "Secretary" and leave it to read "The Commission shall---", because the Commission can regulate its own procedure and act through either one or two of its own Commissioners. Therefore, the language will have to change. After the word "referred", we would delete the words "to him or her". view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it would read as follows:- 41. The Commission shall make all reasonable endeavour to conciliate a complaint referred to under Section 39 and may, by written notice, require any person to- (a) attend before the Commission for the purpose of discussing the subject matter of the complaint; or (b) produce any documents specified in the notice. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in the case of New Clause 42, it is only a matter of recording, which is normally done by the Secretaries of such bodies. view
