  • 5 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. In supporting the Bill, I also want to congratulate my teacher, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for being vigilant because I know when this Bill got into a hurdle, he actually acted very fast to bring it back to the Floor of the House so that we can correct the challenge that the Bill faced. view

  • 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. In supporting the Motion I realize that as a country, we need to implement the Constitution with speed. The Minister has very aptly explained the crisis that precipitated the return of this Bill, so that we can bring an amendment to it. It was not the fault of the Executive, contrary to what we are saying. I do not ordinarily support the Executive, but let us give credit where it is due. Please, let us allow reduction of the time and implement the Constitution, because the country needs us ... view
