However, I do not know whether the Prime Minister is aware that this gadget has enhanced cheating. The users of mobile phones cheat a lot especially with regard to location. I do not know what the Prime Minister’s Office is doing to curtail that. In Uganda, for example, if you are in Bugiri, the handset will tell you that you are in Bugiri.

Among the reasons that the Commission gave for that accident was that the runway was over 1,000 metres but 300 metres had been interfered with. Since 2003, when this accident occurred, has the Minister for Lands done anything to make sure that the length of the runway is back to its normal size? view

• 15 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Part (b) of this Question is very clear. The Member wanted to know when the Government will fully implement the Sugar Act, 2001. In that Act, there is a clause that clearly dictates that 51 per cent of sugar factories be owned by farmers. The Question is very clear and I wish the Assistant Minister could address the issue of 51 per cent ownership of sugar factories by farmers. view
