• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the words "micro" and "macro" have been very well brought out by the Minister. That is Item G. But in future, that particular department September 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4093 may not necessarily be in the Ministry of Labour and Human Resource Development. Perhaps, a wider definition would refer to the Director of the department dealing with micro and small enterprises. That is just incase that department is amalgamated in future with say, industry. So, perhaps, even though he has used the word "macro" and "small enterprises" as opposed to "micro" and "small enterprises"--- Even ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, before you put the Question, we are passing something that may be a mistake! view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was an Assistant in this Ministry. It would be very unfortunate for the House not to take cognisance of my institutional memory and capacity. I am asking for your indulgence to utilise the potential of all your Members of Parliament, so that we are able to contribute. Definitely, I will let the House benefit from my work and capacity. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is on "J", Director of Industrial Training. It was my impression - and I may be wrong - that this post does not exist the way it is. That is because it is becoming a parastatal. This post is moving away from that particular title. So, the post of Director of Industrial Training is not existing as has been defined by the Minister right now. That post is being done away with, according to other subsidiary amendments put in this House. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Bill says in part; "the Minister shall---" In his amendment in (a), the Minister talks about "the Commissioner of Labour shall---" I September 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4099 am trying to understand whether the spirit of the Order Paper is what the Minister has in mind. I thought that the Minister would appoint the Commissioner of Labour to be the Secretary. However, the Order Paper talks about the Commissioner of Labour. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is very much in order for the Commissioner of Labour to be the Secretary of this particular Board; the National Labour Board. However, in my view, the Board should have been appointed formally by the Minister, rather than it being a statutory body, as it is the case here. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Let me assist him, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we should simply make it a judge in charge. That is because Part (b) has the Chief Justice. It could very well be that all those judges are in the same rank. But one of them is going to be in charge. They cannot all be in the same grade. We are proposing that the title either be "Judge in charge" or Senior-most Judge", or whatever term they want to use. But "Principal Judge" is misleading because in the whole of Judicial Service Commission (JSC), we do not have such a title. We have a ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Having acceded that the President shall appoint judges and the Chief Justice shall assign, we should not put it to the President to use a term that is not currently in the scheme of service for judges. In the scheme of service of judges, the way this capital "P" for the Principal Judge has been used, it is equated to a Principal Magistrate. In my mind, whoever was drafting this, was thinking of a Principal Magistrate as an example. Indeed, we do not have such a title. We cannot pass ... view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is Clause 11! view
