• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: shadow cabinetry. In other words, you find that, the way the current Government and system is set up, we need our side to also have people who can take many of the Government Cabinet Secretaries to task on issues. Even when they come to this House to answer questions, it is important that we have a shadow cabinet. You will find that many of our Members have the capacity to challenge or even raise critical questions about our country and the issues coming out. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, the point that I feel I need to emphasize is that; I ... view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to also talk about this issue. It is very clear that the responsibilities of a Senator, other than all the other issues we handle, is legislation. The other issue that the Senate deals with is oversight. I have just come in this morning expecting the Cabinet Secretary to be here. I have just found out that he has not appeared.
