• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that quite a number of hon. Members want to contribute, could I be in order to ask if we all speak for two minutes so that we can give each person a chance. view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. We have already had consensus and it is not possible for everybody to speak. We are also going to have time to speak on these issues during the Motion of Adjournment. I beg to second. view
• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment for three good reasons. First, put yourself in a situation where somebody is in remand, or prison, and when you say the accused person will have to pay costs, where will that person in remand have earned money to pay costs? Secondly, in our Constitution, it is a requirement that an accused person must get a fair trial. I am foreseeing a case where somebody will not get a fair trial; if his or her witnesses are not ready and he does not have the money he or she ... view

The community has never prioritised this project. However, now that the building is already there and some phases are past three-quarters complete while others are not, we have asked the council to use LATF money and its revenue to complete the project.
