• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will accept his information. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wanted to speak to an earlier one. I think it is just changing the years. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is true that this is a clear provision in the Constitution. However, it is important that we have uniform standards for law-making. This is because I have seen many times when we lift constitutional provisions word for word and put them in statutes, there seems nothing wrong with it. So, I wish the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will listen to me so that we can have uniform standards for law- making. For example, if you look at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Act, there are large sections of it ... view

• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whenever you delay justice, you are also inadvertently denying justice. To the extent that we are expediting the process of dispensing justice, I support. Some predicating circumstances may make it impractical to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: conclude cases within 12 months but boldly saying we want to conclude cases within 12 months will reduce the idea of too many backlogs in our courts. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the reasons advanced by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee. I wanted him to look at the grammar in (1B) which says; “The Chief Justice shall take into account the level expertise and legal specialization in the deployment of judges under subsection (1) (b).” I think the word “of” is missing between the words “level” and “expertise”. We should have “level of expertise” or just take into account the expertise. If you are taking the word “level”, then it should be “level of expertise”. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish the Committee Chair would explain the import of that really because on the surface of it, it looks like you are downgrading the position of the High Court Registrar which I hope is not what you intend to do. Of course, I know there are issues to do with trying to lock out the youth of this country and this has become a matter on an issue such as this. But I wish you could pronounce yourself on it so that the import is clear so that we do not seem merely to be ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the amendment in Clause 29(1) is good. I do not understand why the Committee is proposing to delete Clause 29(2). Looking at the wording, other than removing the words “Chief Justice” and replacing with the words “Principal Judge”, the intent of Clause 29(2) is very good. Why are we doing away with it? I wish the Chair would have pronounced himself more on this. To me, the clause enriches the whole venture of performance management, inspection and monitoring within the court. I see no reason at all for deleting this clause. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I am sorry if I am in anyway dragging us back to the same debate. But honestly, what does performance management have to do with a code of conduct? He is 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
