  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise under Standing Order No.131. We had submitted amendments to this particular Bill, which do not appear on the Order Paper. We had written several letters to the Speaker, as my amendments were submitted on 28th March 2018. As such, we had deliberations yesterday with the Chairs of the two committees; that is, the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, in accordance to a letter which is dated 24th April 2018 emanating from the substantive Speaker himself. What we deliberated upon was to try and ... view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I have listened to the discourse by the Leader of the Majority Party and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. This is not a true reflection of what we discussed yesterday from 5 p.m. We agreed very clearly that the Clerks would work on it and share with us. It does not preclude me as a Member of Parliament to move my amendments on the Floor of the House. There is no usurpation anywhere by the Chairs of the Committees. Standing Order No.131 is very clear. It calls for a report from the Committee before ... view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I must say this clearly. This particular Bill opens up this country to grave danger and attacks. We cannot treat it casually. We are opening our country to the Al Shabaab to come in, work and threaten this country. We cannot take this particular Bill casually at all. I would invite the Hon. Chair, as you make your ruling and direction as we move forward, to please consider this in the same breath. Our country’s stance on cybersecurity is of grave importance. If we are casual about it, we will fall. We will regret it. view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you communication is very clear. It says that I will move the amendments which are not covered. How will I move those amendments if they are not on the Order Paper? They are not there. They are not in my name. I refer you to the Order Paper. There is no amendment in my name. The Order Paper by itself is in contravention of the said Communication. view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have seen the clauses about the offences. I would like to hear the comments of the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security because we have heard from the Chair of Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, as far as the command is concerned. view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Can I get a copy of the Communication so that I can look at it? view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: No. view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. There is one thing which we have agreed. These are all new offences which are being added. So, we will leave the numbering of A, B, C, D, E to be done by the Clerk’s Office for polishing, but they are all distinct offences. There should be no confusion when they are saying we are amending 16A to 16I or A, B, C, D, E. So, that is the substantive amendment which we are making but all the offences by the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation and the Chair of the Departmental ... view
  • 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: No, I am not dropping. All of them are new. I am in support of the amendments but I was talking about the consolidating work which has to be done by the Clerk’s Office. view
