• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I want to speak as a Member who has served this House now for two terms and say that the biggest challenge facing our country today is that of poverty and as a result many able brilliant students cannot complete their secondary education which is a basic right. Many of them have had to drop out of school and the rate is very high.

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The NYC having been established, if you remember and I think most hon. Members are aware, elections were held starting from sub-locational level to division level, district level, provincial level and finally national level. All these are structures that are very key for the growth and development of the youth in this country.
