• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that last year, Mr. Were asked the same Question and in the reply he was told that this financial year this road would be factored in? Why has that not been done yet the Ministry promised that it would be done this financial year? view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Assistant Minister aware that this road (C30) runs from Ejinja to Ruambwa? Why is it that it has been tarmacked half-way from Bumula to Ruambwa and left the upper part yet it is the same road? I also believe that a feasibility study has already been done. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he has just walked out! view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I know that the Standing Order No.1 gives Mr. Speaker inherent powers. However, those inherent powers must follow the law. We know how we legislate in this country. That is why when a piece of view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose. I think the issue is not whether there has been a mistake in the past in the way we have paid people. If there has been a mistake, we cannot correct a mistake with another mistake. We need to correct it by bringing this matter procedurally and properly before this House.

• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Motion. In supporting this Motion, I would want to add my voice to those Members who have said that, as Members, we must familiarize and acquaint ourselves with the realities of this country.

I am therefore, able to know that certain myths that we have--- For instance, for most people when you talk of ... view
• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am glad to note that Gen. Nkaisserry is back in the House. One of the reasons I am supporting this Motion is we need to demystify leadership. Gen. Nkaisserry said that Parliament is not a matatu that moves from place to place.

• 10 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion because, for instance, in Mr. Ojode's constituency when you say sirikal, they think that is Mr. Ojode.

The girls from my village in Suba would not ... view
