Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion with a slight rider. Unlike the Motion before it, it identifies the Government in issue. It urges the national Government and that is encouraging. I think it is a lesson for the drafters of this Motion. Secondly, the establishment of a National Rugby Union Stadium is a good thing but I will urge the Mover to drop the word ‘union’. Once you introduce the word ‘union’, you are no The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ...

longer establishing a national establishment; you are establishing it for the union. Unions are not necessarily public and therefore it confuses the entire Motion. Having said that, I am sure that when in the fullness of time it comes to be debated where the location of that national stadium will be, we all know where most of the rugby players come from and I am quite sure that it will be somewhere in the vicinity of the lakeside. Unfortunately, the Motion continues with the tradition of referring to every region. This is something that I hope from the Speaker’s perspective ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank you because I had put my card on intervention but now I know why you did not see me. I stand on a point of order in respect of the contribution by the Leader of the Majority Party.

by the Committee was going on well and, we are going to contribute. But, there are three things the Leader of the Majority Party has said in his intervention that I think may not be in order. The first one is that the Committee did not say they have found the nominee to have committed any crime. The Leader of the Majority Party says he is answering for crimes he committed. No court has found him to have committed the crimes either. Secondly, he says: “This is a serious commission. This is not the Chair of the Ombudsman.” You will ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order on a matter in which I seek your direction and which I think will affect many other Motions. I notice that this Motion suggests installation of CCTV cameras in all public The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

secondary schools in the entire country. By definition, that must require money. My understanding of Article 114 (2) of the Constitution is that it is not only when a Money Bill comes to Parliament, specifically the National Assembly, that the procedure must be adopted. But it also includes when a Motion that involves money comes to the National Assembly. Therefore, under Article 114 (2), if in the opinion of the Speaker of the National Assembly a Motion makes provision for a matter listed in the definition of a Money Bill, the Assembly may proceed only in accordance with the recommendation ...

According to Article 114(3) (b) of the Constitution, the imposition of charges on a public fund is a money Bill. In Article 114(3)(c) of the Constitution, the investment of public money is a money Bill. In Article 114(3)(e), matters incidental to any of those matters are money Bills. I do not have a fundamental issue with the Motion except to the extent that it assumes that all public schools have electricity because all Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras must have some sort of power. The second last line of the Motion includes profiling of alleged perpetrators of arson. You cannot ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think this House is moving too fast to keep with the thoughts and interventions, because you have covered three - all of which I had interventions on. So I will not speak to this, because I had wanted to point out, as you properly ruled that, perhaps, under Standing Order Nos.85 and 86, particularly 85, what my brother Hon. Kaluma was raising was actually anticipating debate. But I do agree with him except our solution cannot lie in Section 62 because subsection (1) restricts it to serving members while subsection (6) excludes any office for ...
