• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: I apologise, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not know that the Question had been asked. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry is aware that there were nine employees and not ten as alleged by the Questioner. (b) The employees were given six weeks to appeal to the Public Service Commission. (c) The Ministry shall direct the council to give the employees a hearing provided they formally appeal. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the letter referred to was actually a response to mis- interpretation by the Press. The letter suspending these people is very clear if you look at the heading. It states: "Desertion of duty, taking part in an illegal strike and using bad language to those who are legally in authority". It has nothing to do with the heckling. So, I gave instructions that if they formally appeal, then the matter will be looked at. The case regarding the two that appealed was dealt with. Those remaining ones refused to appeal. view
• 24 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, perhaps we are reading different letters. The letter of suspension is here and I am reading it.

• 18 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: It is 30,000 hawkers. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, there is no written reply because I did not know which market the hon. Member was talking about. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: However, I beg to reply. The hon. Member knows that for any country to develop, people have to pay rates and taxes in order to get services. So, I am aware that anybody who uses the market must pay some fee. view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really do not know what to waive and where to waive it. The rates vary from place to place throughout the country. So, I really do not know what the hon. Member is talking about. 1030 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2007 view
• 2 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the charges are based on the usage of the space in the markets and not on the basis of how much you are going to sell. view
