• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these days some magistrates and judges are unwilling to go forward for interviews because they feel sometimes they may be over- exposed to certain unsavory questions that may be coming. The only recourse to this kind of thing is to be able to have a Supreme Court that overrides all the interests and interpretations of the law as it stands today. We have promulgated a new Constitution. As it is, Parliament alone has been very complex. We have always had to lean back to the Speaker to give the ruling. We are fortunate because the ... view

• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this Constitution was being made, it was done in good faith. I think that is the basis upon which this Constitution was formulated and, finally, promulgated.

Schedule VI clearly stipulates which sections of the old Constitution were saved. I want to submit to you that in the process of making your submissions, it might have not ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose this amendment. Education is a continuous learning process.

But I think one of the areas that we have recently noticed, with a lot of disgust, is the qualifications being used for some other reasons other than the experience and number of years somebody has served in the various activities. I think experience, quality and in addition later on if they add on, is an added advantage. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this particular clause has brought a lot of pain and agony to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and you might have been privy to the protestations that they have made in public. Therefore, the word “determine” has been very provocative to them. Therefore, I agree and concur with the new word because TSC has the mandate to determine. Therefore, you cannot have another commission determining on their behalf. So, we would be quite happy with that amendment which is proposing to “inquire and advice” as opposed to “determine.” This would remove the conflict between the ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. view
