• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: This is an amendment which has been sponsored by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We are seeking that the term of the Vetting Board be extended by two years, to lapse on 31st December, 2015, so as to allow the Board to complete the vetting of the 300 magistrates that are still remaining. That way, we will have complied with the new Constitution. Hon. Members are aware that this House approved the appointment of three foreign judges to join the Board.

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 2 be deleted. We have difficulties with Clause 2. It is difficult for the Vetting Board to go to court to obtain an order for them to get information from people.

So, we are proposing that this be deleted so that they carry out their duties as they have been doing before. view
