• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to err is human and anybody can err. We are saying that we cannot shut the Government because of 50 cents. We can amend the figures. They are not cast in stone. This is an error. I think what the Treasury has done is that instead of rounding down, they have rounded up. To that extent--- view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just following the ruling by the Chair that unless and until there is no Member willing to contribute we proceed with the debate. I just want to draw the attention of Members that we have got two more Motions; the one on guarantee and the one on adjournment. You can actually say anything you want under those two Motions. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just besieging my fellow colleagues that we follow what the Chief Whip instructed us to do and not stand. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to add one more justification as to why we need to sit until we complete the business appearing on the Order Paper of today. Since there is a proposal that we may go on recess tomorrow, we want to enter into parliamentary history that we went on recess when we have no constitutional Bill on the Floor of this House. I think that will be a wonderful feeling as we go on recess. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to commend the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for a job well done and beg to second. view
• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, together with his staff and all the other people who were involved in the making of this important Bill, for a job well done. Parliament has done its job. We have given this country a Supreme Court Act and it is now up to the Judicial Service Commission to do its work. We hope that they will give us men and women of integrity, men and women who are philosophical; men and women who are well endowed in the jurisprudence ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me first of all start by thanking and commending the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for rushing this very important Bill to Parliament, so that hon. Members can debate it. I am happy that after this Bill, there are no more Constitutional Bills before Parliament. So, Parliament has done its job. Also, there are no Constitutional Bills in the Cabinet and, therefore, the Cabinet has also done its job. So, I think the quicker we pass this Bill, the better for this country. As you are aware, one of the reasons ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we debate this Bill, I think we need also to bring to the attention of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) that the way they are going about making some of those appointments is not right. When they advertise, shortlist, interview and then just come up with one name, in effect they make themselves the appointing authority. We need to say that in no uncertain terms. It is preferable if for every position they give, at least, three names to the two Principals, so that they can look at them and make a decision. Otherwise, ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I commend the selection panel that interviewed and shortlisted candidates for the position of the Director of Public Prosecutions. That is because they came up with three names and gave them to the President. The President, in consultation with the Prime Minister, then came up with one name. I think that, to me, is the right procedure and right way to go, particularly in view of this transitional phase. view
