• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of availability of funds should also be provided in this Bill, so that any Government agency intending to give out any tender should first of all confirm that there is availability of funds rather than just dishing out tenders when they do not have the funds.

• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: need them to follow the procedure which we use in NG-CDF. We ensure first of all that we have the money before we award the tenders. That one is very important, so that we do not have incomplete projects which take forever to be completed. I believe that will be very important. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: In this same Bill, the approval by the Attorney General is required. I do not believe this is necessary. All these Government agencies have their legal officers who are equally qualified like those ones in the Attorney General’s chambers, if not even better. Some of those legal officers in the parastatals are paid well and motivated. Therefore, they may provide better legal guidance. I believe incorporating the Attorney General in the approval of all these contracts will bring inefficiency in the awarding of tenders. It will lead to delays. I believe that is one area which we need to re-look ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 14(1) (a) provides that a public officer shall not be liable to be sued in any of these contracts. I believe this one will be open to misuse. Everyone should carry his or her own sins. If a public officer will involve himself in some irregularities in awarding contracts and tenders, then he should be sued by those who are affected. The provision of this part of this Bill needs to be removed to ensure that they become diligent in what they do. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: There is also the issue which the President raised in one of the public forum that we need to make public the list of all those applicants for any tender and their quotation. I have not seen it captured anywhere in this Bill. Those are some of the issues which we need to inbuild in this Bill to ensure that there is integrity, transparency and accountability. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support that proposal by the Chair because this amendment in the Bill looks so suspicious and malicious. It looks like someone wants to create a position for a certain person. I believe the first degree is adequate for a person to be a Director-General, unless you want a lecturer to be in that place. view

• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support the amendment by the Chair. Somebody has said we are making the law for posterity and I agree. That is why we should not rush it. In this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, the amendment on issues to do with labour covered more than 20 pages. It was lengthy and it requires thorough trashing of the issues. It requires lots of public participation and all that. Instead of having these small amendments, we need to have a substantive Bill and a complete change of that Bill. I do support the ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Sometimes the Leader of the Majority Party needs to be soft when he is here. He should not be pushing things to look like he is controlling Parliament, especially intimidating the chairmen of the committees.
