• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am very proud to be a fishmonger, given that I represent fisher-folk. You will notice, as we go forward, a lot of our amendments are very similar. It stems from the fact that we sat with the Committee. Originally, our amendments were varying but we sat together with the Committee and agreed. They are fairly similar. The only reason that we have stayed my amendments on the Order Paper is because of a ruling that was made by the Chair that allowed the Chairperson of a Committee, in another Committee not in ours, ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I apologise that even though we have similar amendments, I would love to speak to them because the bulk of the amendments were originally mine. So, I am very passionate on these issues. In response to what Hon. Kaluma has said, we did consider. Originally, we had the Ministry of Defence but because of how heavy the body was in terms of national Government representation, we decided to drop that Ministry. A theme that runs throughout the entire amendment is that the original Bill was not devolution-friendly. That is why we decided to include ... view

• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it would be kind if you listen to me especially where the Chairman drops amendments. If you notice my amendments, that is why you see they are mirrored. If he drops and I do not agree, then, at least, it will be fair for my side to be heard also because it is an amendment in the Order Paper. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you do not mind, you could listen just to what I was saying. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my amendments are in the Order Paper. I understand that if his amendments are carried, if they mirror mine, then mine automatically lapse. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted to request as a matter of procedure that where the Chairman is dropping a proposed amendment, since all the rest are fairly similar, could we then in that case go sub-clause by sub-clause so that where I oppose, I oppose his and where we agree, I support his. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just asking in terms of procedure. I am not disagreeing. I was actually disagreeing with the earlier one but I was saying, maybe, to make it is easier because I did not get an opportunity to talk in the other one, is it possible that where he is dropping, if he indicates he is dropping then we go sub-clause by sub-clause. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this one especially because the zebra pouch of ensuring where the Chairperson is woman, the vice- chairman is a man and also for ensuring the issues of regional and ethnic balancing in composition. This is the second body we are putting that. I would also want to encourage the Leader of the Majority Party who has been very kind to us not to be too worried if Members are a little tired. We will still get time to move on with this. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to also support. The Bill says that even before you are appointed to the Board, you must declare your interest in any matter the Board is dealing with. It is impossible to know what the Board would be dealing with. The way the issue of the family was defined, from the African setup, even the Temporary Deputy Chairman could be my relative. Following the book of Isaiah, we all came from Sudan. view
