• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, sugar is a very important cash crop in my county. It is the next big earner after tea. Therefore, I had a small comment on the Statement made by my neighbour. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter has been ably handled by yourself. This is an important matter. Looking at the issues that have been raised by colleague Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, his biggest relief to the people he represents in this House is for him to walk to the Director of Legal Services, either in the Senate or the National Assembly, extract a copy of the Sugar Bill that was developed by the National Assembly and come push it in this House. We have talked about all these matters for the last 10 years in this House. It ... view

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: came up with a revolutionary Act of Parliament that increased the earnings of our farmers though there is still a lot to be done. I urge Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, to gather Senators representing counties that have sugarcane-growing farmers and we will work together. There is nothing in this Statement that cannot be addressed by that particular Bill. This is a very important industry in our economy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to add that we must expedite the process of privatization. The reason Uganda continues to produce more sugar than us is because 20 years ago, Uganda ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: No, do not call my farmers lazy. They are very hardworking. I was in Kilgoris three weeks ago. I know a lot about this sector because I am an investor in the sugar industry. I was in Sen. Olekina’s county. Kilgoris would become a ghost town if he dares encourage his farmers to move away from sugarcane farming. They rely on it 100 percent. That town revolves around sugar. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I look forward to Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, SC, inviting us and forming a sugarcane caucus of Senators representing those counties. All of us can sit down ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was referring to her. I have not given her any instructions. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you get a copy of her Constitution, Article 110(3) has begun to lose ink because of the number of times she has read it. This is at the heart of our operations. I am happy that this morning, we had a discussion between the Hon. Speaker of the Senate, the Hon. Speaker of the National Assembly and the team that is working on the concurrence process. It is my sincere hope that we can conclude that process by the end of next week. The three Bills are - (1) Parliamentary Powers and Privilege Bill (2) ... view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is something that we are looking forward to because each afternoon for the past three or four weeks, I have seen Senators bring before this House Statements. As expected, responses are yet to be tabled. Many of those matters are still before our Committees. I plead with Chairpersons of Committees to push on this particular business and ensure Statements brought by Members are considered and response tabled. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Finally, I applaud Hon. Senators who have filed Motions and Statements on various issues and those who have taken up Bills that lapsed during the end of 12th Parliament. The Bills are being processed and they will be scheduled in the Order Paper, after the concurrence process is completed, in view of Article 110 (3) of the Constitution. We are pushing hard for conclusion, so that we avoid these afternoon sittings where we do not have any business to consider. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the House. view
