• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I had a request that I wanted you to address. There is a parking slot that is normally reserved for persons with disability. It is internationally recognised. The sign is known all over the world that it is reserved for persons with disability and it is not for cosmetic purposes. If some Members are dropped in front of this House, they will need to be carried to the Chambers. If they are dropped very far, it will be very difficult for them to access this Chamber. view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Specifically, the parking for persons with disability is just opposite the door that goes to our media centre. However, Hon. Members do not read those signs. Even members of staff end up parking their cars in those parking slots. We have complained several times and we have told the security people and the Serjeant-At-Arms to preserve those parking slots for Members and staff with disability. Today I found cars registration numbers KCU 396S and KBS 597F parked on the parking slots that are reserved for persons with disability. If you have the ability to walk across the streets, some of ... view

• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Bill. Let me start by thanking the Committee led by the iron lady, Hon. Gladys Wanga, who is actually the minister of finance. She brought a very important Bill that will solve the economic problems that we are facing now as a country. Not only as a country, there is an economic meltdown in the world courtesy of the Coronavirus pandemic. Hon. Gladys Wanga and the Committee did a very good job. They had public participation which is well informed because I ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: whole lot that we had to maintain in terms of offices, infrastructure and wages for themselves, wages for their workers and also to fuel their vehicles. It was an additional burden to the Government. The infrastructural projects that the Jubilee Government earmarked were also another very heavy burden to the taxpayer who is already overtaxed. The infrastructure of 7,000 new kilometres of tarmac, rural electrification projects, free maternity, free primary and secondary education, were all extra burdens that we had to bear. You know it is not the Government, it is the taxpayer. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) was also ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you come to the House physically but not emotionally and psychologically, some of these things may pass you. For the benefit of the Member, I just said that we want a clause in which we put timelines. We should know in how many years the investor must have recovered their money with reasonable profit. I use the word “reasonable” because sometimes you may be told that the profit is 100 times the invested money, which then will stretch to so many years. That is what we want to avoid through this. As I conclude, I ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also inject my voice on this very important Motion. I congratulate the Committee led by Hon. Kizito for such a very important and timely Motion. This House is a political gathering in accordance with Article 1 of our Constitution where we exercise sovereignty of our people who delegated it to us as the light of this country. It is a light of this country. According to the Bible in the book of Mathew 5:15 or Luke 11:33... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was saying that we exercise the sovereignty of the people in this House which they delegate to us in Article 1 of the Constitution. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Actually, we are supposed to be speaking to them directly so that they know that their authority and sovereignty that they delegated to us is not going in vain. I said according to Mathew 5:15... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Okay, I have agreed. I am well guided. According to Mathew 5:15 and Luke 11:33, you cannot light a light and put it under the table. You light a light and put it somewhere that all people will see. The light of this country is actually within this House of Parliament because this is where laws are made.
