• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Bill with proposed amendments. I want to agree with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He has referred to a court ruling on the issue of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills and the form and format they should ordinarily take. This is a matter we have canvassed in this House severally before. This Bill does not meet the requirement that was set by the court. Indeed, if some of these provisions are taken to court, they will be nullified. ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to show how ridiculous it is. I am not very good in maths, but let us take 10 minutes and divide it by roughly 60 pieces of legislation. How much time do I have if I wanted to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: contribute to all the pieces of legislation? It is presumed that I will represent the people of Suba North on every single piece of legislation that comes before the House. Constitutionally, I will have been denied the right to talk to some pieces of legislation because of that provision alone. Such a law that I would be proposing should say how many sections of a Bill can be included in any given miscellaneous Bill. Again, in reference to what the court said… view

Indeed, if some of these provisions are taken to court, they will be nullified. Time is apt for Parliament to provide a law that standardises the way we bring Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bills. In the past, Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills were used for mischievous political reasons, especially when political issues come up. The law I am talking about should be Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Procedures Act, which should provide for the number of ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Members are trying to eat up my 10 minutes when I am actually saying that already I do not have the time. Again, it should also provide what minor amendments are. We can use what has been provided by courts to input into that law as to what is considered minor amendment. Because of time, I will not speak to every single Bill that I wanted to speak to. I will just give examples of why I am saying so. I would want to look at, for example, something that may look like a minor amendment. If you look ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am raising this because I know I may not reach all of them because of time. I want to give another example of the ones they may not have considered. It is the Children Act. First of all, for the last 10 years, the children sector has been working on a comprehensive amendment to the Children Act. We are bringing an amendment that looks minor to make the Child Welfare Society an adoption society and by the proposed amendment, it is going to kill all other adoption societies. By that proposed amendment, it will also kill the Children Department. ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On the issue of legal education that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has spoken about, it is wrong if every Tom, Dick, Jack and Harry can be in a position to offer training that qualifies one to be a practising lawyer. I know you know it because you are a lawyer. I can even see you are laughing. The issue of qualifying and getting a degree is totally different from qualification as a practising lawyer. view
