• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Considering the mood of the House, I feel that this will be an exercise in futility. So, I feel I stand no chance against the Members. Ideally, mine was just to try and combine the monies that were proposed in the law. Instead of sharing them out to two parties on their own and the rest of the parties together, I said put it all together and let the parties share proportionately. I think that was really the import of my proposal. I also said the issue of coalitions… view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you know there is no need to just withdraw without mentioning the import of why I had proposed this. That is what I was doing. I was just indicating the import of my proposed amendment. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There is no pressure. Under the pressure that is in this House and the condition I have seen, I think I will just withdraw that amendment and hope that we can make amendments to the actual Act so that we create some fairness in the sharing of the monies. view

• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I want to talk about one issue which overrides an observation I have made concerning these laws. This is the idea of replacing physical documents with electronic signatures. The ability to transact business across borders and without being physically present or physically near is good. We have the coronavirus that is becoming a real bother. Obviously, we need to move away from doing things the old way of carrying papers and files all over the place. We can communicate with each other electronically because the world has become a global village. It has become smaller and a place where we ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: This is a good idea. The proposals are excellent and I am certain if we pass the Bill, we will encourage more people to transact with us. If we are going electronic, let us be careful. Recently, people were purporting to sell arms to this country caring files all over the place, stamps and signatures. We have to be sure that as we move to electronic systems, we are able to protect our people and the nation from fraudsters who take advantage of that ability to take us down. view
