• 17 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think even as the Senator of Busia is trying to redraft that Motion, we must keep in mind---.

So, I think what the Senator of Busia is going ... view

In Article 96, it talks about our responsibility to be the guardian angels of devolution. I have a problem with the current devolution laws.
