• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to have the HANSARD Report on this one, because it was subject to very intensive comments during the Second Reading of the Bill. It was so obvious, that I wonder why the hon. Member is raising the issue. He knows very well that what I am saying is true, that this proposal was subject to very extensive comments from both sides of the House on the fact that it could be abused and the exercise of the powers could be arbitrarily abused by the Director of KACC. That is why I have ... view

• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to strongly oppose this proposal for very many reasons, some of which are constitutional and others that relate to the wording of the phraseology itself. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, under our Constitution, the executive authority which deals with the appointment of all public officers is vested in the President. The core function of Parliament of this National Assembly is to legislate. We should never separate--- We should be very, very clear in our minds, at all times, that the executive authority is vested in the President, and the core function of Parliament ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment because it is really for the sake of continuity. Even under our Constitution, it is stated that the President shall hold office for five years, but at the end of the five years, we have to wait until he hands over to a newly elected person. Otherwise, at times you can have a vacuum, which you cannot fulfil if, somehow, the newly elected person is not there to take over at that time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, so, both the amendment to the First Schedule, which relates to the Director ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although the Fourth Schedule was a very important proposal moved by me, but in view of the decision of the House, I agree with the Mover that, in view of the decision of the House yesterday to delete proposed Section 7(A), then this cannot stand on its own because it is part of that Section that was "killed" yesterday, unfortunately. view

• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended - (a) By deleting the proposed amendment to Section 30. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Section 30 states:- "That the contents of the declaration or clarification under this Act, shall be accessible to any person upon application to the responsible commission. No information obtained pursuant to Sub-section 1 shall be published or in any way made public except by prior written authority of the responsible commission." 3938 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we ... view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Public Officer Ethics Act be amended - b) by deleting the proposed Section 30A. The proposed Section 30A reads:- "Each responsible commission shall prepare and submit to the Minister a return of all declarations or clarifications made under this Act within a period of three months." We want to delete this thing, because it is very dangerous. Suppose your Minister is your enemy, what will happen? He will kill you! view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Secondly, the position of a Minister is not constitutional. It is the prerogative of the President. How do we give such a responsibility to the Ministry that is always "twisting" or "changing places"? view
• 13 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: 3940 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Let us make law that we can subscribe to, and not law that can make us start crying tomorrow. I beg to move that we delete the amendment brought forward by the Attorney-General. view
