• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to stand up and support this good Bill. Looking at the contributions and the sentiments that are coming out from the different sectors that are interested in this proposed legislation, you notice that we stand on the horns of a dilemma because we have on one side the Engineers Act which is in place today and which has supposedly been regulating matters in this industry. Unfortunately, the Engineering Act, as it is today, only recognises three types of engineers and these are the traditional ones, that is, the mechanical, ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support this proposed amendment. This is because we, as Members of this House who have been dealing with students in our constituencies, know that every child who is admitted to a university under the regular programme actually applies for the HELB loan through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). Our children are poor and from what I have observed, most of the students are denied loans without any explanation. So, I think it is fair that we give our children opportunities; we have been saying that the only inheritance we can give ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak to this very important proposed piece of legislation. As the Member for Luanda, I have been telling my people that the way to go for this country, and specifically for the people of Luanda, is to industrialise and go the way of manufacturing. I have been telling them that with special regard to the fact that Luanda is one of the most densely populated areas in this country. We neither have much land nor a lot of industries today. I have been advising them that ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: through Luanda. One of the things that we have been really anxious to do is to have a declaration by the Government, so that the railway reservation at the Luanda Railway Station can be allocated to the people of Luanda. If that is done, they can develop it into a special economic zone, so that this area, which has been lying fallow from 1901, can be utilised for the benefit of the people. What we have done is that we have secured this piece of land. This proposed law today is on all fronts going to actualise our dreams as ... view

• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me an opportunity to support this proposed amendment to the Bill that we are discussing. My main reason for supporting is only one. It is a constitutional and a ground rule on the rights of a person, that you are innocent until you are proven guilty. This will ensure that those people who face the EACC will have their rights protected. So, I support. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for this opportunity to support this amendment. It is very important to also bring to the attention of the House that some of our staffs have not been paid. This is particularly, my staffs in Luanda who have not been paid for the past three months. I, therefore, support the Leader of the Majority Party in this quest and I think it will be the proper thing to do that we pass this amendment so that this Bill can come into effect immediately after its publication. view

• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. As we all know, transport system in any country is the backbone of any serious economy. As a country, we have undertaken to construct the SGR. We have invested immense resources of this nation in this project. In doing this, we have also liaised with the other East African nations, the Great Lakes Region, which is Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. We hope that through this railway system we are developing, we shall harness the economy of the Great Lakes Region so that it will be of great benefit ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: was really uplifted. So they are waiting with bated breath so that this railway will also reach them and they will be connected to the greater East Africa region. It cannot be gainsaid that the benefit from approving this Protocol will be huge for our nation. With those few remarks and taking cognisant of the time, I stand to second. view
