• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it did not see the light of the day for reasons which are obvious. view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: So, hon. Samoei is a good friend of mine, and I would be the last person to wish him harm. I talked to him because he was away when we resolved that we were going to support the local tribunal. When he arrived he addressed a Press conference at the airport and said he was against it, because he thought it would target just the small fish, and not the big fish who could not be tried here. He said we we could only get justice at the Hague. That was then. He found out much later that this had ... view
• 15 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: All that I am saying is that this country needs reconciliation. This country has gone through trying times, but not worse than what South Africa went through. The South Africans had a bigger and wider vision and they were able to resolve their internal differences in a much more civilized manner, and they reconciled their society. We can also do it in this country, but we cannot do it when we try to condemn the innocent. So, let us face the facts. Let us trace our steps backwards and find out how we can find a solution that will ensure ... view

• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my knowledge, I did know that the new Constitution had banned political parties or that parliamentary groups can no longer meet. Under the new Constitution there is Schedule Six that provides for the transition. That is the reason we still have a President who is also a Member of Parliament, a Prime Minister who is also a Member of Parliament and Members of the Cabinet who are also Members of Parliament. That transition says that this will continue until the next elections are held. So, there is nothing unparliamentary for political parties meeting ... view

• 20 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: So, the meeting this morning was never intended to violate any provisions of the current Constitution. It is perfectly within the provisions of the current Constitution. The hon. Member did canvass the point that he is raising here and the other hon. Members did not agree. So, I want to be guided when you make your ruling, to also make judicial recognition of the provisions of the current Constitution, particularly Schedule Six, which has provided that the position of the Prime Minister shall remain until after the next elections and that the President shall continue to be also the Member ... view
