• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We are proposing the deletion of Clause 25 because of Clause 22, which is already in the Bill. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I am sorry, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As a result of the spirited fight by hon. Millie, I may have lost touch with my Order Paper. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I propose that Clause 25 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new Clause 25A, which provides for general penalties in the unlikely event that there is no penalty that is provided for an offence that has been committed by an offender under this particular Act, then there is an omnibus provision that deals with that. view

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The proposal by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, with a lot of respect, is obsolete.
