• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: At (c) we need a full stop so that there is an end to it. We do not need to have the “or”. This is because with “or” then it goes into (d) immediately. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to contribute to this Motion because it is very dear to my heart. What has been raised here is important that the capitation to FPE is too little to cover the cost that is required in primary schools. Since it is too little, it is becoming very clear that today most schools continue to have harambees every single month. As a Member of Parliament, I have too many harambees for schools simply because this capitation is very little. Most schools require not only books which this ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Without this increase, a lot of students also drop out because they have no motivation to go to school because there are no facilities. The money that is supposed to buy books or desks is too little and so they sit on stones or they learn under trees. So, the learning environment is very harsh for them. It is not motivating. The more we increase the capitation, the better for our students. I support this very highly and I believe that more students will access school. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the very fact that FPE was initiated and it increased the number of students in schools, means that every year more students will be admitted. The number will continue to increase and if that is the case, then the amount that has been assigned for this great work will never be enough. So, we need to continue The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: to increase this money year by year. It is not just increasing it now and then we wait for another five years. It is important that this money should be increased on a yearly basis because the number of students that join primary schools is also increasing. So, a yearly increment should be considered in the education sector. view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Motion. This country faces two very interesting environmental seasons. On one hand you have drought and on the other you have floods. When floods come, so much water is wasted. We do not harvest any of these flood waters. I think we have technology where so much water can be harvested and stored for use during drought. In Kano Plains, so much water is wasted. People get driven out of their homes and animals die. Also, diseases break out. The Government could harvest that ... view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: work. What is the role of the Ministry of Water or the Ministry of Lands? I think they should work together to ensure that they store water. The other day we visited Kigali. Rwanda is a small country, a very young one. However, what was very impressive, and it is a lesson we can learn from there, is that those people are environmentally conscious. Kigali is a very clean city. Water is well protected. Rivers are clean and there are trees. There is total cleanliness. You just sit there and you wonder. I think this country can learn from Kigali ... view
