• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute. Let me start by saying that I support the National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill. When NG-CDF is touched, I know that we touch the heart of this country in terms of development at the grassroots. It has done a lot. Its achievement is probably comparable to no other system that the Government uses for development. view

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on this important issue.

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Recording this and making it known to all and sundry, and to those who will come after us, is by itself a very important thing. We should do it.
