• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to indicate that this is one of those rules that I find myself between a rock and a hard place. The reason is because as a person who aspires towards enhancing democracy in parties, I would not wish to see a situation where we party-hop and where we do not promote positive ideology in parties. I am really hoping that we have a situation where, as a country, people do not subscribe to parties because of ethnicity, but because of ideologies that those parties espouse. Indeed, if we reach that situation, then ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose. The name of this Commission is “Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC)”, and it was formed because of the issues of post-election violence. We have a few months to the election; who are they going to reconcile and when? This is a body that has become a joke, because they have finished their work. They came before our Committee and we agreed to extend their time when they indicated the challenges that they were facing. Indeed, we are getting from the grapevine that the report is done, but due to political considerations, ... view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I did not have to talk, I do not think the Minister is in order to mislead the House that if Members of Parliament leave the House, then the Coalition will be dissolved.

• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to indicate that when I had started contributing in support of this Motion, I had indicated that I am writing a novel which is entitled; “Getting Lost with Freedom”, that speaks to a lot of things that this policy seeks to address. One of the things that I look at is that when you grow up and when you were younger there was a lot of hope for change and the transformation of this country. That was anchored on the fact that we had optimum population and the resources that were available could ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had raised a point of order in relation to this Question and the Chair then did not give direction. I wish that you give us direction. Under the Counter Trafficking in Persons Act, this issue has an element of trafficking and the parent Ministry is not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you look at the definition of a “Minister”, it says the Minister for the time being responsible for matters relating to women and children. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not responsible for issues of women and children. An ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I know that the hon. Member is very well intentioned and I would support that position except that it would create a legal technicality. If we do not look at it carefully, it may amount to giving these officers a term of nine years. I think it would be prudent for us to give this one year and then after that we can, as provided by law, give a further three years after having put in place the procedures, as the Minister has stated. Otherwise, his intentions are very noble. view
