• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Would I be in order to call upon the Mover to respond? view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today, Thursday 20th March, 2014:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 33 of 2013) view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You know I agree with hon. Duale that Islamic marriages are not registered. That is known, In fact, all precedents and even courts state that all Islamic marriages are not registered. Now, the consequences of the removal of “registered” in accordance with this Act - and this is with regard to other marriages and not Islamic ones – is that if you remove this one, all other marriages whether civil, Christian or customary are all registerable. With regard to the issue of Islam, we have made a proposed amendment which is contained--- If you ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Page No.90. We have made substantial amendments to take that into account. This was discussed in the Committees where we also have Muslims. So, this matter was canvassed quite effectively. In Clause 48(a), which is a proposed amendment, we have stated very clearly that Islamic marriages are celebrated in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have consulted with the Leader of Majority Party with regard to the various amendments that he is seeking to move. We would like him to be comfortable with the proposed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraph (f). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee felt very strongly that if we leave any other group, it is inconsistent with Article 45 of the Constitution which recognizes marriage between man and women. Therefore, this would have allowed other marriages that were not anticipated under Article 45. These were proposed to be deleted. Thank you. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 8 be amended – (a) in sub-clause (4), by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefor the word “Registrar”. (b) in sub-clause (5), by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefore the word “Registrar”. (c) in sub-clause (6) by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefore the word “Registrar”. We do not think that people should be directing people’s marriages. They should just merely be registering marriages only and that should be the operational title of the person who will be registering marriages; the change is from “Director” to “Registrar” ... view

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 11 be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “mental disorder or mental disability” appearing in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the words “mental condition”. The reason why we are saying that is because when you use the term “mental disorder or mental disability”, you are a little bit discourteous to the people who are suffering from such kind of disease or sickness. So, “mental condition” are more appropriate words to be used in the circumstances, and I think the Member of Parliament for Seme will totally agree that ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 12 be amended by— (a) deleting paragraph (d); and (b) deleting paragraph (f) The reason we are proposing the deletion is because the question of procedural error does not undermine the question of marriage. Under “(d)” it is stated that a person officiating thereat is not lawfully entitled to do so. If two persons have come together, get married and the person was not lawfully allowed to or entitled to officiate at that particular function, we are saying it is not the problem of the persons who are getting married. ... view
