• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Micro and Small Enterprises Act, 2012, (No. 55 of 2012) by deleting the proposed amendments to section 53 (1). view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The proposed amendment only allows umbrella organisations to apply for support. Sometimes, you find in rural areas we do not have those umbrella organisations. You have small Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organisations (CBOs). If we only leave it to umbrella organisations, it means we are only limiting it to organisations that are likely to be in the city and cutting off organisations that are in the rural areas. So, I am proposing that we do not remove the NGOs and CBOs but allow them to apply on merit. In any event, there will be somebody who will be vetting ... view

• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The proposed amendment is the one that is removing NGOs and CBOs. It is only leaving umbrella organisations to be the ones that can apply. If we do that we are likely to only empower city-based organisations because if you look at the rural areas, there are very few umbrella organisations. We have CBOs and NGOs. If we do that we will have big entities picking the money and not give it to the smaller organisations. I am not removing but seeking to retain the NGOs and CBOs. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Speaking as a lawyer I want to advise my Hon. Colleague that whenever there is an amendment, he should always ask the mischief intended. When you delete where there is NGO and CBO, the mischief is you do not want them to benefit. If you say any other, then these people can make reference to the old Act and say that they were included but they have been deliberately excluded by the Legislature. When you say any other, this does not necessarily cover them, yet they were already included and now expressly excluded. That ... view

• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Public Private Partnership Act, 2013 (No.15 of 2013) by deleting the― (a) proposed amendment to section 4. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The proposed amendment seeks to do away with a committee that is called the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Committee. This Committee consists of various Principal Secretaries (PSs). My concern with removing that Committee is who will be left, unless the Mover can advise? The Cabinet Secretary is the only one who will be left, without that Committee. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, putting so much power in the hands of one person is very bad governance practice. This is because power in the hands of one person is always subject to abuse. Unless the Leader of the Majority Party will show ... view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. When you are dealing with so many pieces of legislation, you have no choice but to go double digital, otherwise I will not remember why I moved this amendment. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Public Private Partnership Act, 2013 (No.15 of 2013) by ― (b) deleting the proposed amendment to section 5; If Section 5 is passed, then automatically the rest of the sections follow because the proposed amendments were doing away with the Committee. However, now that we have retained the Committee, what it does is that it only provides that the members of the Committee shall be paid such allowances as the CS shall determine in consultation with the Salaries ... view
