• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 12 be amended- (iii) in subclause (2)(b) by deleting the word "fifteen" and substituting therefor the word "seven"; and, (iv) in subclause (3) by deleting the word "four" wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word "two".

So, I do not know why the Ministry wants to extend this period to a four-year renewable term, as opposed to a two-year renewable term. The Minister will be tying his hands if he is going to sign a four-year contract with somebody. The Ministry will have to pay such a person's salary for all those years, even if he will not be performing. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to go with the Minister's reasoning that the Government is doing three-year contracts. Can we do an amendment to change it from two to three years so that it can be informative of the way the Government is operating? 4236 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 6, 2006 view
