• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. This Bill is important because it will ensure that PBOs start operationalisation. It is unfortunate that, as a House, we have been giving the Executive a lot of power to decide on when to bring into effect the legislations we make. We should never, again, give a blank cheque to the Executive to decide on when laws should be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: operationalised. I believe, as a House, we need to be very firm on such decisions and a free hand being given to another body is the wrong way to go. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill is important because we want our people to benefit from NGOs especially in terms of employment. The role played by NGOs in this country is very critical. Any law which can assist in the operations of NGOs and the civil society is welcome and should be encouraged. NGOs also play very important roles especially in the marginalised areas of this country where their presence is felt more than even the Government. NGOs are found in marginalised areas especially those with religious backgrounds. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: However, as we put this law into effect we need to know that not all NGOs are angels, some of them are also not that good and we need to tackle them. We need to ensure that there is transparency and accountability in the world of NGOs and the civil society and take care of that through such a law.

This is because it is not from their pockets but from donors whom we need to build a good relationship with. We need to make a ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Vice-Chair of the relevant Committee said that they are still consulting. I wonder how they spearheaded the law even though it was a Private Member’s Bill. They must have sat as a Committee and informed all the relevant stakeholders concerned with this Bill. Why are they saying they are still consulting? I believe this law should not be linked to any other consultations which are happening outside the Floor of this House. Therefore, this law needs to be approved on its own merit so that it can be effective and useful to this country. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also wish to support this. There is no need for this to be referred to mediation. We can sort it out. If the Senate feels it is sweeter to say “Chief Conservator of Forests”, then it is okay. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (4) paragraph (a) by deleting the words “a chairman” and substituting therefor the words “a chairperson”. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. It is only clearing up the clause based on previous amendments. Thank you. view
