• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: The Question is: What is the Government doing to deal with the Minister in this Ministry who has failed workers? The same Minister was there in the Ninth Parliament. How long are we going to continue to bring Questions of this nature here because the Ministry has failed to ensure that workers are paid? view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect, we all know that the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who is a very good friend of mine--- view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are Ministers who do not believe in delegating duties to their Assistant Ministers. This is one very good case. We have been told where the Minister is, therefore, we do not want to debate on that. Where are the Assistant Ministers? view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has insisted that his hands are tied by the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005, and at the same time, you are aware that the CDF is in operation through a special circular from the Ministry of Finance. Why can the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government not organise, for the time being, a similar circular to ensure that councillors and the people are able to supervise their own money? view
• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have about six reasons why I support this particular Motion; that, districts be based on constituencies. The current criteria for creating a district has been political. If you are politically connected or correct, then you can get a district. Sometime last year, just before the Ninth Parliament was dissolved, a Member of Parliament from a place called "Teso" decided that he wanted a new district, and since he was not politically correct, he decided to be temporarily politically correct. The particular Member of Parliament had the opportunity of hosting the President. You should have seen ... view
• 21 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular contractor caused a lot of damage to a number of primary schools through blasting stones for ballast. Could the Minister ensure, as he closes the accounts, that the damage caused to these primary schools and also private properties is included in his personal accounts so that these people are paid? The contractor had committed himself to pay. view

• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the scheme of service was put in place, obviously, it never took into account the marginalised areas of this country, including where the hon. Assistant Minister comes from. First, the scheme of service is not cast in stone. Secondly, Parliament is not bound by that scheme of service. It is not an Act of Parliament. It did not come 2800 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 16, 2008 through here. The Assistant Minister should not just take this matter lightly. He should rather go back, discuss with his superiors and come up with a scheme of service which ... view
• 16 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, time and again, you have stressed the issue of collective responsibility. It is obvious that the land was acquired by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. For the Assistant Minister to only limit himself to his own Ministry, he is not doing justice to this House and to the people affected. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am appealing to you to, maybe, have this Question deferred and let the Assistant Minister liaise with the relevant Ministry. When you get there, do not forget us! view
