• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to accept the undertaking by the Assistant Minister that he will have that road done. That is the concern of all the users of that road. They are keenly following what is going on. Could he confirm when the Ministry will do that road? view
• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to promise the answer to the individual Member of Parliament who asked the Question when it is on the Floor of the House? Every hon. Member is entitled to that answer! view

• 22 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to acknowledge what the Assistant Minister has said about the powers of the President, but it is also true that there is nothing about the law that forbids the President from releasing these reports to the public. It is true that these are public funds being expended on public matters towards achieving certain objectives. It is only fair and imperative that the President makes these reports public for this House to debate. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you look at the initial answer the Minister gave, you will find that he denied that anybody was detained for non- payment of hospital bills. He also denied that bodies had been detained.

Could he own up and tell this House that he is holding bodies and also detaining patients? We want to know under what powers he has done that. view

• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I stand to support the deletion. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: As has been explained, the immediate circumstances warranting these amendments are the changes that were done after the current Government came in place. The actions taken by the Government were purely administrative, allocation of departments here and there. It would be wrong thing to enact a law to fit the current Government. So, at the Committee level when we considered this, we concluded that this kind of legislation would be bad because it is meant to suit a temporary situation. The law should be made for all governments and situations. It is the Government to organise itself according to the ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Attorney-General is really not responding to the issue that has been raised. Among the Acts that are being amended in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill, the National Assembly Remuneration Act was not one of them. At this stage, an amendment is not an amendment to any legislation that is before this House. So, this is really an attempt to ambush this House by sneaking in amendments within the main law that was being amended. The procedure is very clear. There is the initial reading of the Bill, Second Reading and then the Committee ... view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The Standing Orders do not actually confer on the Speaker powers to allow this kind of amendment. I stand to be corrected because I have not really seen it anywhere within the precedent of this House. view
