I think that it does no harm to retain the Bill as it is. It is quite clear enough. I would like to plead with my colleague to drop the amendment. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to oppose the amendment. It is unnecessary as commissions of December 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4133 inquiry are adequately covered under the terminology "other proceedings". The title of the Bill actually describes the Bill better. It is principally aimed for protection of witnesses in criminal cases and other proceedings at the discretion of the Attorney-General.

Members, we are dealing with the Report of the Financial Year 1998/99. There is an urgent need for us to be up-to-date. It is the intention of the Government to ensure that there is--- view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Yes, I am doing so, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, noting that my colleague is not here. I am doing so, in the spirit of collective responsibility. It is our intention to ensure that our accounts are up-to-date. But I would also ask the PAC to make sure that it is up-to-date itself. I want to observe that although we laid on the Table of the House, sometime in April, the Special Audit on the 18 Anglo Leasing-related contracts, other than one of them relating to passports which to date we have been given a report, the PAC has not ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you could kindly defer this Question to tomorrow afternoon, we could find out from his office. Even if both him and his Assistant Minister are not in, I can undertake to answer the Question. view
