• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of my family and the people of Kipipiri, I would like to convey my condolences to the family of the late Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo and the people of Gem whom he represented for the 10 years that I served with him here. He continued to serve when I was out. I joined Parliament with him in December 2002 and we got to know one another. In 2007, we got into the Grand Coalition together and I got to work with him far much more. We got to the tail end of that term, with ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I would ask that Members, in our traditional way, I do not know if it is Hon. Elisha who will be mobilising that, in our compassionate way, we can see how to join the family in giving a befitting send-off. I am looking at the current Member of Parliament working with the Leader of the Minority Party. He would guide us into how Members can participate in helping the family to overcome the financial burden as we pray for them to overcome the grief. It will be our contribution to send off our colleague in a befitting manner. His death ... view

This House apportions the money to the Executive and all that. ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: On sustainable inclusive growth, if we continue having inequalities—and this has been experienced even in Singapore, where you have migrant workers that were put in very chaotic living conditions—when the rest of the country had sorted out the COVID-19 situation, the poor had not received the same access. Hence, when COVID-19 hit the poor, it went back even to the rich. So, if we do not sort out some of these inequalities, the disease does not respect social status. It will hurt those who have and those who do not have. However, if we sort out the inequalities within the ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I am not in any way suggesting, but we will soon be coming to that, and when that happens, for purposes of raving up this economy so that we can grow at more than 6 per cent, it is important that we start preparing our minds that yes, so long as we know that we are borrowing this money to put in this and not that, we have closed the doors. If we stop wastage then it makes sense to borrow especially now when the rates are so low and so long as the rate of economic growth is higher ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the interest of having a few Members to speak, I want to thank the Committee for a wonderful job and ask them to expedite that process so that as we go through the next phase in the Committee of Supply, we will tidy up all this. The National Treasury and Government should stick to the real meaning of building back better and not business as usual. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
