Therefore, I want to just tell my brother that in any case even when they are investigating the CDF, it is not him they are investigating because the CDF has a Fund Manager, committee and chairman.

• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was saying that for one to be elected in this country, you must be a man who is wealthy, a man with a lot of resources. That actually tells you that he is lucky because if he was in this country, which is not just about democracy but what resources you have to be elected, he would not become President. Because of that, I rearranged my pecking order. Before, I used to think it could be from God, the Son Jesus and then the rest in leadership. But I have rearranged my order ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Let them not waste my time, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to conclude! I do not know how much we were prepared. That is because even the grass that we would actually have planted in good time to show Obama that we were prepared, you can see we had not done as much.
