• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to appreciate your ruling that certain Members are performing very important duty for this nation.

• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has confirmed that there is serious stress among the police officers. One obvious case is the kind of housing that those officers stay in. I have informed the Assistant Minister about the pathetic housing situation at Kabiyet police lines. The housing is not up to date. What is he doing to ensure that police officers get good offices and good housing units so that they can discharge their duties effectively? view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion moved by our very able Chairman of the Committee. I want to confirm to the House that this is a very serious Committee with a very able Chairman. I want to confirm further that we have put ourselves in sub-committees of four. So, when you see three hon. Members out of four, it is a full house. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to urge my colleague Members of Parliament that when we are coming to your areas please try to be available because your input is very ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The extension being sought was decided on by the Select Committee; it was proposed by the chair and seconded by a member of the Select Committee.

• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Minister for her answer, there are serious concerns on the shortage of lecturers in our universities. The problem is not only in that particular university. We would like to thank the Ministry for ensuring that we are going to have a double intake of students this year. But the major concern is: What mechanisms has the Ministry put in place to ensure that we recruit as many lecturers as possible to ensure that the quality of education is not watered down as we have the double intake in this country? view
• 7 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Before the clarifications, I am the one who sought the Ministerial Statement. I did ask the Minister to state the situation on the ground as it is today. Is he in order to avoid answering that bit of the question? view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Without interrupting the Minister, I have listened and views have been expressed, would I be in order to request that we go for Division? view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I would wish to support hon. Karua amendment, but there is one problem there that, when you use the word “ shall” and the word “eligible”, when you combine the two it actually means “may”. So, if she wants to use “may” then it should be the Commission “may, subject to” So, we must delete the word “eligible”. Otherwise, we may intend to say “shall be eligible” and it still reads “may”. That is the real meaning of “shall be eligible.” view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: So, I hope my learned friend, will remove the word “eligible” and use the word “may” or remain with “shall be eligible” and it still means “may”. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. You notice that we seem to be moving forward and backward. I can see that we already have three proposed amendments to the Schedule. Would I be in order to suggest that we look at the three amendments that have already been proposed to this Schedule, so that we consider one? I have looked at the amendment proposed by hon. Konchela, and it is very clear that the majority of us would want to support it. view
