• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I reply let me sincerely thank the Members of this House for taking time to contribute to this Motion. It is also fair to remember the institutions that these kids are entrusted to either family, schools, religions institutions, colleges and anybody else who has been given responsibility to protect our children. Our children are our future, and anyone who has ill motives against them should consider this. Finally, allow me to remember the young girl whom I mentioned was killed yesterday in my constituency after being raped by a very nasty young man who did not see ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. The Report before this House touches on our investment as a country. If this Report is adopted and implemented, we will see effective, transparent and accountable institutions in this country. Let me highlight a few challenges that this Report touches on.

The tenure of the board members should be staggered to avoid a situation where the term of office of all board members expires at the same time.

• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to appreciate the good job that the Chairman has been doing for us. However, I want to raise my reservations. Next year is an election year and all of us will be engaged in campaigns. If you look at the timeframe that we have, I am very concerned that if the funds are released late, we might not be in a position to disburse all the funds knowing that Members of this House will not serve for five years, but for only four years. So, it will be very unfair if Members of this ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. I have more concerns in the sense that I have a national reserve in my constituency. Three years ago, we lost three girls through attacks by wild animals. They were never compensated. We should have a policy in place to address human-wildlife conflict because if we are not careful, these animals will be killed by the communities. Two years ago, hundreds of acres on crop were The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
