However, there are some circumstances that are well beyond the control of the Ministry or even line Ministries. As I said in my moving notes, some of the factors that have resulted in a reduction in the revenue that we expected to raise are exogenous and are beyond the control of the Government. This is because they are ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With regard to the poor implementation of various projects, like I said, we have a committee that is working on that. I believe that this situation will ultimately be improved in years to come because our ultimate objective, especially as we move towards programme budgeting is to ensure that the Budget or the appropriations that are made when the Budget is made are strictly adhered to and Ministries abide by that which shall have been approved by Parliament. view

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would plead with the hon. Member that on the particular thing he is trying to cure, the Committee is also addressing itself to the same issue in one of the amendments that have been proposed by the Committee. So, I would plead that we allow the amendment by the Committee to go through. The issue he is trying to deal with, which falls under the Weights and Measures Act, is already being addressed and will be cured by this particular amendment by the Committee. On the issue of weights and measures, we have now ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, once again, I would plead with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education to allow hon.

Member seems to doubt the ability of the Commissioner to act judiciously and reasonably when issuing a Gazette Notice. Again, by prescribing the timeframe, in the principle of the law, it would unduly tie the hands of the Commissioner. For example, where view
