• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: particular area in which it does so is where it proposes, in Section 69, that even where a landlord wants to demolish or repair premises, then they must give notice. Previously, one of the ways landlords would deal with tenants if they wanted to evict them was that instead of trying to evict them, they would just remove doors, windows or roofs under the guise of doing repairs. Before, there was some sort of confusion in terms of tribunals dealing with residential premises and those dealing with business premises, each of which had a different jurisdiction and different standards.

• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I fully support this Motion. Thank you. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am quite happy to support this Motion on the Ratification of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights. I will have the House know that this is an area I am quite familiar with as it is an area which my Master’s Thesis focused on, namely, the African system of human rights protection. The structure of the Charter is such that the Charter has to be supported by protocols. So, over the years, various protocols have been developed like the Protocol on the Women Rights, for example, the Protocol ... view

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Whereas everyone has a right to petition this House, I think this House must also develop ways of dealing with petitions that are unmeritorious. This is one of those which, although you have now committed it to the committee, it would be one for summary dismissal. First of all, it has a factual error in so far as it says that the Office of the Deputy President does not have a term limit. That is not true. Under the Constitution, there is a term limit. You can only be deputy president for a maximum of two ... view

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have carefully considered this Bill. Its essence is to abolish the more progressive approach of allowing self- regulations by professionals for the more retrogressive approach of control of professional bodies by the State. There are many reasons, and if it was to graduate to that, why we would oppose this. Personally, I identified over 20, but in the context Hon.

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: The first one is that in the objects, this Bill purports to say that these amendments are being done to align these laws with the Constitution and the Mwongozo Code for State corporations. There are two problems with that. There is nothing in the Constitution that requires an amendment to any of these laws at all and the Report does not purport to identify that. Secondly, the Mwongozo Code is not a law. It is a code. It is a policy. You cannot purport to amend substantive legislation to accord with policy. It should be vice versa. view
