  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, but we are actually bringing legislation to establish it. So, I do not know how unconstitutional that is. view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am just asking so that you may actually consider it. A lot of things are not in the law, but we establish them by legislating. So, we are actually legislating and we can persuade one another and say that we remove the CWSK from the Bill with good reasons; or say that we retain it, and we do so with good reasons. I know that the CWSK have done good work. I was in the adoption committee of the Society, but I presume that – I am not privy to what the Committee does ... view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: My other concern is that, I have read Article 53 of the Constitution and raised an issue of constitutionality and you, as the Temporary Deputy Chairlady, have not declared whether what I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: am raising is constitutional or not. Could I request that my raising of Article 53 of the Constitution in relation to the amendment that just passed be considered unconstitutional? You can look at Article 53 of the Constitution even without going to any previous decisions of the court. On the basis of Article 53 of the Constitution alone, what we passed is unconstitutional, or otherwise we will be accused of double standards as a House that I raise unconstitutionality and nothing is done, but another unconstitutionality is raised, and we pick up the issue. view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with due respect, I am not really persuaded that what we are doing is right. view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I was telling the Committee, I did not spend a lot of time on the amendments, I think the Chairman was worried at some point that I was going to touch on issues of the CWSK. I know it is contentious, and because of that, I deliberately avoided touching anything to do with the CWSK. Some of us are accused to be having issues. I actually forgot to tell you that my mother was a children officer in the CWSK a long time ago, and that I have also been an advisor to the ... view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: No, that is not what I said. view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I am not disputing that. I am not saying that the Directorate of Legal Services should go through a Member. What I am saying is what I have observed over the years. The attention of the Speaker is drawn to an issue about constitutionality. That is why I am saying that it is a learning process. I would be happy to learn where that provision is in the Standing Orders. I want to agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that some of these issues are pertinent. We do not have quorum and I think we need to sit ... view
  • 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: a legal framework of standing. I do not know why my friend Irene and the others are running away from getting legal footing. Everybody has been attacking the CWSK, including having documentaries on all manner of things. Let this issue about money be a thing of history. Let us anchor it in law. Part of what we will do is to sit together and agree. I would suggest a different framework, but we need to sort out this issue once and for all. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there is no quorum. view
  • 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. view
