meant for the benefit of Judiciary. It is meant for the benefit of all the three arms of Government. So, it is improper that the Judiciary will always argue separation of powers when it comes to the exercise of their mandate, but when it comes to the exercise of our legislative mandate, then separation of powers, with regard to our authority, becomes secondary to that of the Judiciary.

19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I want to urge you that as you go to consider this matter, you should be very comfortable that the Constitution is your shield and defender in this matter. The Judiciary is subject to the Constitution in accordance with Article 161 of the Constitution, and they cannot purport to act as if there is no Constitution. I express solidarity with our sister House, the Senate, and urge them to know that if they back down in this matter, then there will be no limit as to how far the Judiciary will push us in the exercise of our ...

I am concerned that in the absence of that Bill, if we proceed to focus merely on the recommendations of the President, one, it will indeed, be in bad faith. We will have betrayed a consensus that was facilitated by a Committee of this House. A consensus that would have, sort of, cooled the tempers and the concerns of the media.

5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly:
the Press is cardinal in the Constitution. It cannot be overridden by any interest. I just wanted to plead with you if you could allow the Chair, my good brother and a man I have immense respect for, the Member for Kigumo, to assure the media as to the fate of the deal struck between the Committee and the media practitioners. He should also inform us why the Committee has decided to cede its responsibility to the Executive. This then amounts to the fact that this House will be watering down the work of a Committee of this House. It ...
