• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for granting me this opportunity. This Petition is timely. When it comes to schools, suppliers and the BOM teachers are really suffering. I hope this Petition will be handled in a timely manner. The Government should come up with mechanisms to cushion teachers in private schools. Recently, a programme for youth in slum areas was unveiled and I was surprised to see teachers from private schools going for those jobs. The Committee should look at issues that are cutting across the schools. The Government should try to come up with ways of cushioning people who are ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that all committees are important and all examine documents. This is not a laughing matter. The school calendar has changed. The way the Cabinet used to meet has changed. I saw the President holding a virtual meeting with governors. We must accept that COVID-19 is here. As leaders, we must lead by example. There is no way we can start meeting physically. We will be saying in other words that schools should continue holding classes. We must take the matter seriously. Only where there is an extraordinary need can you allow some committees ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I went to court. While in court, before we were given the conservatory orders, I could see the judge on the other side. The court examined the documents and requested for concurrence. If there is no concurrence, the court clerk is told to cross-check. Maybe we should invest in technology. With technology, everything will be possible. Even the Office of the Auditor-General himself has advanced in the way of examining documentation. It is not the way it used to be. There is no way Parliament can be an exemption. Maybe we need to meet Information, Communication and Technolgy (ICT) experts ... view

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. It is unfortunate we have a Supplementary Estimates Bill III. This is a true indication of poor planning. It has been said that failing to plan is planning to fail. The COVID-19 pandemic has been here. This should not be an explanation to allow this to go on without condemning the current Cabinet Secretary. When it comes to planning, there is normally provision for unforeseen circumstances. How sure are we that tomorrow he will not bring a Supplementary Estimates Bill IV? Wherever the Cabinet Secretary is, he ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am just thinking outside the box, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is very dangerous to allow such a trend to go on. view
