(Ms.) Mbarire has proposed here, whether going forward, we may want to consider coming up with a tribunal within the board. I imagine that there will be a plethora of complaints from farmers that would need a specialized unit to deal with this special area. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have put it better than I could have put it. This provision is unconstitutional. You can never shift blame.

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: We do not need to limit the remedies that are available to anybody who may feel aggrieved by any action that has been taken by the actors in this proposed law. Therefore, I beg my brother to withdraw this amendment, so that we can move to other amendments. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: We will start with the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. view

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Millie. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, for good reason, I will not do what the Leader of the Majority Party is asking me to do. I direct that the next step will be undertaken the next time this matter will be set down for consideration by the House. view
