• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was giving an example of what is done elsewhere and eventually it impacts negatively on us. We have not tested the genetically- modified maize sufficiently, and yet we are being urged to adopt them for the sake of food security. We need to conduct enough tests to prove what is good and can be adopted in our situation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when most of these new inventions are brought here, we have no capacity to fight them legally.

• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) whether he is aware that most of the shallow wells sunk by Kenya/Finland water project in the 1980s known as KENFINCO have collapsed; and, (b) if he could allocate adequate funds to rehabilitate the pumps so that Butula communities can access clean water. view

He does not seem to have a specific plan for Butula Constituency.

• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. HIV/AIDS was declared a disaster in this country more than ten years ago. Up to now, many patients do not access anti-retroviral drugs. The centres the Assistant Minister has talked about are 40 kilometres away from Butula Constituency. A sick person cannot travel that far to access the drugs. Could the Assistant Minister tell the House what budgetary provisions the Ministry has made to enable patients to access treatment? view
