• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to give my input on the petition by Hon. Alois Lentoimaga. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The social assistance programme is very important especially to the vulnerable in our communities: the old, widows and orphans. Like Members who have spoken before me, I would like to say that the way the money is channelled is not beneficial to us who come from other parts of the country. We had suggested before that the money could be sent to the post offices or even to the chiefs’ offices so that the elderly people access it near where they stay. There is no need for a man of 70 years to travel for over 100 kilometres to collect ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Currently for one to qualify to get the money, they have to be 70 years old. There is need to reduce the age to 60 years. A person who is 60 years old deserves to get the money because they are very old. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Petition. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is on the same note. Standing Order No. 122 talks of the procedure of application of a Bill and also the introduction of a Bill into the House.

• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: That those NG-CDF Committee Members from constituencies which we had approved in this House must have their names gazetted so that work begins. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is in relation to the leadership of the Houses of Parliament in reference to Article 108 of the Constitution, which talks about the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party in the National Assembly. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am making reference to Article 108 of the Constitution about the leadership of Parliament both in the National Assembly and the Senate.

What the Constitution talks about in Article 108(2) is about the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party in the National Assembly. There is nowhere it states that the Senate should also have these leaders. view
