• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: The Ministry should further complete any stalled projects and develop a clear criterion for identification and distribution of such projects in the future. (30) The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should commence investigations into abuse of office on officers who authorised opening of bank accounts without national Treasury approval, contrary to Section 28(1) of the PFM Act, 2012. As I conclude, I want to state that the Committee was also alive to attempts to derail it from attaining its mandate. Political interference manifested itself severally with political pronouncements and unsubstantiated claims being made against the Committee and its Members. The ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I still believe as some of the earlier contributors have said that perhaps it ought to have been an amendment to some of the existing legislations. Having said that, on Clause 3(c) the object and purposes of this Act are to: “Present to young people a balanced, non-competitive programme of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery and growth, perseverance, responsibility to themselves and service to their community.” This is a very noble objective.

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: Service (NYS). Some of us are here today because of the benefits we gained from that programme. It enabled us to acquire discipline, undergo personal discovery, growth, perseverance and responsibility which is really what has been a major stone in the foundation that brought us here. I want to believe it is because of the experience gained at NYS--- In a very simplified and a little uneducated way they used to tell us: “Your aspirations are as tall and as long as you want them to be.” I think because of not only perseverance, growth or even responsibility, there is ... view

• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: the composition of staff should strictly comply with the provisions of Chapter 13 of the Constitution on the principles of public service.

The problem we have had in this country is that we have very good laws but the rubber meets the road when it comes to implementation. That criterion should be adhered to. In conclusion, I have two concerns with this Bill, and I wish you would just add me one more minute. If ... view
