• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I will make very few remarks. As neighbours, we have an obligation to extinguish the fire in South Sudan. We cannot afford to watch the situation deteriorate in South Sudan as we did when Somalia had challenges. Our failure to intervene in Somalia has resulted into what we witness on a daily basis. Our intervention in South Sudan can be justified on account of achieving good neighbourliness. This will be good for trade, business, economic and social development and for peace and prosperity in the entire region. I support. view

• 25 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if you understood what the Chairperson promised. When will the statement be issued? In fact, the impression that I get is that it is not definite, because he has said that he will no longer be the Chairperson of that Committee. What answer will I take home? view
