• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development has formulated a draft on Evictions and Settlement Bill for introduction to this House and it was expected to have been in this House before the end of this month but at this juncture I would like to say that this Bill cannot appear before this House because quite a number of things have held it from being brought to the House. So, I want to promise the House that we shall fast track it so that it is here in mid November. view

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Well, this is quite a serious issue that needs to be handled quickly. Since it is a matter that has been in existence, we need to peruse a little bit some records for the sake of his people. I want to undertake that the Departmental Committee on Lands be given one month to deal with the matter; I hope the hon. Member will bear with the Committee. He is my friend and I know he will understand. view

Member, bear with the Committee. We are going to do a thorough job and you and your people will be happy. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. That is a matter we had discussed with the Leader of Majority Party before we got to the House this afternoon.
