• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 10 be amended by- (a) renumbering the existing provision as subsection (1); (b) by inserting the following new sub clause (2) immediately after the renumbered sub clause (1)— “(2) An accounting officer shall, before any contract is commenced, confirm in writing to a supplier of goods, services or works that sufficient funds are available to meet the obligations of the contract whenever payment is due.” This is very critical because there are many contractors who have engaged in contracts awarded by the Government, both nationally and in the devolved units; borrow money from banks. They then have to ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended by inserting the following New Clause immediately after Clause 11— “11A.(1) Any payment that is due arising out of a contract under this Act shall be paid within the terms of the contract or shall be made within thirty days upon completion.

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if we find the 30 days to be an extremely short period, I am agreeable to move a further amendment on this so that we have the words, “shall be met within 30 days upon completion” hoping that my colleagues will support the second me amendment which is more critical to me. I discussed it with the Legal Department who thought it good to have new Clause 11A(1) to build on to new Clause 11A(2). That is the legal advice I was given. I did not draft it alone. I sat with two good lawyers of ... view

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 11— (2) All payments of contracts due shall be made according to the sequence of date of completion.” I propose this amendment because of practices in Government offices.

If one completes a contract first, he or she ... view

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Member is imputing improper motives on me.

I sit and go through the Bill and propose amendments based on what I have seen and experienced. Then now someone wants to link it to the issue of maize. I have never grown or traded in maize. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also support this Bill. This is a very important Bill because it will provide some clarity on the issue of contracts in connection with the Government. We need to have clear rules of engagement with the Government. I support this 100 per cent, possibly with some necessary amendments. I support the issue of bribery being included in this Bill. There should be issues of integrity whenever anyone wants to engage in business with the Government or in contracts which involve the Government. I once talked to a CEO of a ... view
