• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is the role of the National Assembly, pursuant to Article 261 of the Constitution, to enact the various legislation required to implement the new Constitution and specifically those that are set out in Schedule Five of the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, the three Bills whose period is sought to be reduced are among the Bills that have a deadline of 27th August, 2014.

The consequences for not allowing this Motion to pass will ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This clause seeks to delete the institution in the law under the Transition to Devolved Government Act called the Transition Authority (TA). As you are aware, the role of this TA is central to the Transition to Devolved Government Act.
