• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. That sounds very clear. However, I did not understand what he meant by deleting Sub-clause 13 because it does not relate to Sub-clause 5 that he spoke about. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. However, the hon. Member, in moving the amendment, called for the deletion of Sub-clause 13. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, I want to explain myself as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. When this issue came before the committee, I actually proposed a similar amendment. The reason as to why I was persuaded is because I did have the reasoning of the Minister but after listening to the Minister, I am actually persuaded to support hon. Mungatana. The reason as to why I am supporting hon. Mungatana is that if you look at what we are trying to do with the principles, you will appreciate that these principles may not have the ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to oppose. Every person has a right to counsel, even if you are going on a date and you want to carry your counsel, it is a constitutional right. You cannot determine for somebody when they should have a counsel. It is a constitutional right; so, you cannot take it away. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support this amendment because the vetting process will take one year. So, this requirement will only delay the process. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to support. This is because not everybody who is going to be vetted is a rotten egg. There are categories of persons in the Judiciary who have served with distinction, and may find it demeaning to be taken through a vetting process. The cost of renewal is very high. You cannot compare it to the amount of money that goes down the drain in this country through corruption. If we are committed to renewal we must be willing to pay the price. Therefore, those who opt out, because they do not think it is ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for moving fast on the vetting. The only thing I regret is that we are condemning judges and magistrates that would want to leave. This is a very sad day. view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Minister for bringing this Bill at such a time when we are talking about issues of the Judiciary and separation of powers. I have worked for a long time on the issues of access to justice and reform of the Judiciary when I was in the civil society. I particularly worked in the programme called the Governance, Justice and Law Order Sector Reform Programme (GJLOs), that was working around issues of reforms of the Judiciary. That is why the Judicial Service Bill is necessary because it sets the stage and agenda for the reform of ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the way we are reacting in this country, even from what is shown from the post-election violence, half of this country would be jobless. I also want to talk about the issue of technology. In this century and time, if you do not have basic technological expertise, really you are a relic. It looks like it is a difficult thing, especially for persons who are a little older, but it is not too late. I would want to say that in my activism spirit, today a lot of women are wearing black in protest. ... view
