  • 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not think that it is fair to ask us to stay here until 8.30 p.m., because we have important business, even though I opposed that extension. Now that time was extended, we have been sitting here until now, so that we can discuss very serious issues. This Bill is very important. It is a Bill that will take this country forward. It affects the youth and we must look at it very critically. We must give our serious contribution to this Bill. I do not think that we ... view
  • 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for his answer. However, he is very evasive in his answer. If you look at the response he has given on the regional balance, he is saying his opinion without telling us which regions those are. We are therefore left to guess. Could the Minister, tell this House which regions those people come from? He is leaving it to his own discretion so we cannot appropriately interrogate him as a House. view
  • 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to be very evasive? I have actually asked a very straight question which is; which regions do they come from? In one he said, “I believe but I am not too sure”. In the others he is not stating the regions. He is telling us whether they are serving the first or second term. Could the Minister be clear and direct in his answer instead of giving the wrong answer to the question I have asked? view

  • 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what the amendment seeks to do is to clarify that anybody who has attained the age of 18 years and who has attained a waiting card can register as a voter and within three months, once they receive their identification card then they can vote so that we do not lock out many young people who do not have identification cards within this period. The earlier amendment did not clarify also what this document was because it referred to it as a provisional identity card and if you look at what is issued, it is very ... view
  • 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 21 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by inserting the words “and fishing” immediately after the word “agricultural”. The amendment seeks to include fisheries. When you look at the definition of “agriculture, it tends to exclude fisheries. So, we had agreed to mainstream fisheries in the amendment. So, that is what it seeks to do. view

In part “a”, I am seeking that we ... view
