• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I took my amendments to the Clerk on 22nd July. They were signed received. After they were received by the Clerk, the Committee called me formerly. I did not just appear in the Committee. We discussed. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is not right to be dishonest. The Committee invited me formerly because they wanted to see if they could take up the amendments and I said: “No! These amendments have to be debated on the Floor of the House.” So, for the Chairman to come here and say that it was an informal appearance is being dishonest! view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what is the point in Members proposing amendments if they cannot come to the Floor of the House? We are now completely negating the aspect of law making. Making amendments is not an easy thing. We spend time to make amendments and bring them here. This matter cannot be treated casually. Honestly, it should not. Why are we here? view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following amendment to the Motion:- THAT, the Motion be amended by inserting the words “clean and safe” immediately after the phrase “financial framework for and provides tapped”.

We are not just looking to provide water, but we are looking to provide water which will not harm our children. It is important we emphasise that as we provide this water; whether taped or from other sources, it must be clean and safe for use by our children. view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order under Article 94 of the Constitution. One of the roles of Parliament is to make laws. That role is performed by Members, and it includes making amendments to Bills in this House. When a Member brings a matter concerning--- view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: When a member brings a matter concerning his proposed amendment being impeded in one way or another, that matter cannot be treated with flippancy. I am very disappointed by the Chair of the Committee of the whole House while moving the Controller of Budget Bill. I brought my amendments on 22nd July, 2015, and they were received at the Clerk’s office. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: For the Chair to suggest that I should have followed to confirm that the amendments appeared in the Order Paper, reduces me to working in the Clerks’ Office. I am not sent here by the people of Rarieda to work in the Clerks’ Office. We have to be told why we are called before Committees. It is wrong and demeaning as an MP and a Chair, for a fellow Chair to say that when I appear before his Committee, after he has called me, that is an informal engagement. Why then was I called?
