• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this matter has been postponed for far too long and I suppose, through your office, you could give very firm The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: instructions that the matter must be responded to tomorrow. The indication was given last week that it would be responded to today and, indeed, we came ready to receive the Statement and interrogate it on the Floor. Nevertheless, since they are not around, there is very little we can do. We have to accept. Now that we are almost concluding that section and the Chair is not around… view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, probably the Member is not well-briefed on the matter because the secretariat forwarded to me a copy of the Report. I was repeatedly invited to come without fail because my long-awaited response to the Statement would be read on the Floor this afternoon. The Member is not well-informed. Sorry for that. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my point of order relates to the next Order No.13 and specifically, part (i) on the Committee of the whole House in respect to the County Government Grants Bill (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2021). Debate concluded yesterday evening. It was the expectation of every Member that we would be given adequate time to prepare any amendments we would want to move. In the past, the substantive Speaker has ruled that debate in the Second Reading is not in vain. It is disheartening that the only amendments appearing on the Order Paper are those prepared by the ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am sure that there are quite a number of my colleagues who share my views, but since I had not spoken to them because we have just been ambushed, I seek the benevolent sympathy of the Speaker so that we postpone this matter. Waiting a day or two will not be harmful or bring this country to a standstill. I submit. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. As much as the proposed amendments are laudable and progressive, the use of the term “reasonable expenses” appears a bit misguided. An expense to repair a damaged aspect or part of the building is an actual expense. I do not know how the Chairperson intends to enforce what qualifies or does not qualify as a reasonable expense. He should instead be straightforward that it will be reimbursement based on actual receipts for work done. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The Chairperson can probably explain what is reasonable and how they intend to measure reasonable expenses. Otherwise, I suggest that we just make it a direct reimbursement for expenses incurred based on receipts or actual measured works done. That is a simple, straightforward and scientific process. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Not on this. I think this is perfectly in order. It improves the existing laws. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think that particular amendment is good. It simply enforces what already exists with the passage of the Kaluma Bill on succession. I think we have resolved and covered these shenanigans that happen quite often. Probably, this could actually be redrafted by making reference to that amendment that was assented to so that we tie up all the laws in this spirit of succession and so as to deal with claims upon death of some funny characters way much from woods. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me admit I was caught off time. I would have actually made far reaching amendments to that particular section, but as it stands, it is the most progressive way to avoid a situation where the CS and anybody else misuses and exempts literally all the properties that are affected from the provisions of this Act. On that score, I support. view
