• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 109 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “Commissions” appearing in Subclause 3 and substituting therefor the word “Commission”. This is just a typographical error. The sentence should read: A member of the Commission or any officer designated by the “Commission” not “commissions”. So, it should be “Commission”. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support this amendment, but I think as lawmakers we should be consistent.

That is on the wrangles at the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC). The Leader of Government Business had assured us that the Statement would be brought to the House today. I have not heard of the Statement being brought and I was just wondering if you could so direct. view
• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter is extremely urgent, and that is the basis upon which the Leader of Government Business undertook to bring the Statement today.

• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me a chance to seek clarification. I sought this Ministerial Statement because of the concern that I had that this being the period for mock examinations, it does not augur well to have the head teachers out of school for about a week.
