  • 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 Crops Act, No.16 of 2013― (a) in the proposed amendments to Section 9 by inserting the following new subsection immediately after the subsection (5)― “(6) In appointing members under paragraphs (e) and (f), the appointing authority shall take into consideration gender representation, ethnic diversity, youth and representation of persons with disability.” I do not have a problem with the amendment as proposed by the Committee save that I would want that for appointment to the board, there be ... view
  • 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Yes. I have two amendments. There is Section 9A and Section 9(6). In one of them, the Committee has proposed amendments in the form of New Section 9(4), New Section 9(5) and New Section 9(6). So, I am proposing a New Section 9(5) to include that representation of gender, ethnic balance and need for representation of youth and persons with disability. view

  • 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let me be clear. I was giving my proposed amendment before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. It will read as follows: “In appointing members under paragraphs (e) and (f), the appointing authority shall take into consideration gender representation, ethnic diversity, youth and representation of persons with disability under Article 27 of the Constitution.” I have only added the words “under Article 27 of the Constitution.” view
  • 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I can have it as: “As per Article 27 of the Constitution.” So, I will amend it to say: “In appointing members under paragraphs (e) and (f), the appointing authority shall take into consideration gender representation, ethnic diversity, youth and representation of persons with disabilities as per Article 27 of the Constitution.” view

  • 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I can by saying: “In appointing members under paragraphs (e) and (f), the appointing authority shall take into account Article 27 of the Constitution.” That is for emphasis. That is all. view
