FIRST READING
MINES AND MINERALS AMENDMENT BILL [H.B. 19, 2015]
THE MINISTER OF MINES AND MINING
DEVELOPMENT (HON. W. CHIDHAKWA) presented the Mines
and Minerals Amendment Bill [H.B. 19, 2015].
Bill read the first time.
Bill referred to the Parliamentary Legal Committee.
MOTION
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE
THE MINISTER OF MINES AND MINING
DEVELOPMENT (HON. W. CHIDHAKWA): May I request that
Orders of the Day, Numbers 1 and 2 on today’s Order Paper be stood over until Order of the Day Number 3 has been disposed of.
HON. GONESE: Just a matter of clarification Madam Speaker. I have no objection but I think that the Hon. Minister owes it to this august House to indicate to us as to whether the relevant Ministers are going to turn up at a later stage because often times, we have had this situation where on a Tuesday or Thursday, which are days where Government business is supposed to take precedence, we have a situation where the relevant Ministers do not turn up and we end up not debating those Bills. In particular Madam Speaker, in respect of Order Number 2, you will recall that on Tuesday the debate was prematurely adjourned because the Hon. Vice President who is in charge of that particular Bill was not in attendance; neither was the Minister of State in his office or even the officials from the relevant organ on National Healing were not in attendance. At this point in time, I think it is important for us as the representatives of the people of Zimbabwe to be appraised as to whether the Hon. Vice President is going to turn up or whether he has again thumped his nose at us showing the total disdain that he shows for this august institution. In moving his motion for the Orders to be stood over, it is important for us to know where we stand in that regard.
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: I think the Administration of
Parliament, with the help of the Chief Whips will have to write to the responsible Ministers to be present in time for their Bills to be debated.
Motion put and agreed to.
