• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I opposed the amendment for the simple reason that to the extent that the words, “golden handshake” are not defined; we do not know what they actually mean. They offend Chapter 12 of our Constitution on Public Finance, use of public finance prudently. It also opens a window for uncertainty, not to mention that the vetting we are going to be doing is not intended to either punish or reward. It is merely intended to determine whether a judge or magistrate is suitable and view
