• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was in that profession before I came here. I designed many data centres and what we do in a situation like this is--- view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: What Hon. Musimba is trying to do is to save on costs. This is because within the data centre, you can create compartments. A compartment can be dedicated to this particular facility. I persuade him not to delete it but allow for a dedicated compartment within the National Data Centre for petroleum only. We should not delete Clause 37. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I request him to make a further amendment to allow for a dedicated compartment within the National Data Centre so that the data for petroleum is completely distinct from other national data. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: No. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman--- view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, while I agree with the Chair of the Committee, this is a very important clause. I request that we amend it part by part. We should start with part (a) then (b) and (c). In my view, the Chair has only talked on part (a).

If we cannot get it right so that we bring it to the representatives of the people to approve them, we would have got it wrong from the beginning and that is when petroleum becomes a curse instead of a blessing. Therefore, I support the amendment by the Chair. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Hon. Emanikor is my good friend but I am not quite convinced that she has explained the import of her amendment clearly. This is because as is provided in the Bill, I personally do not see anything wrong with it and I would reluctantly oppose her amendment. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information. As we pass this Bill, I am very disappointed by the Legal Department of this Parliament. There are a lot of typographical and syntax errors in this Bill. It is not our business, as Members, to notice them. When you go to the Legal Department, they use big legal terms. For example, they say that the errors will be corrected when making the vellum. However, a lot of errors end up in the finished Bill. ... view
