• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: None other than you decided in the last Session that Parliament will act according to the law and we will not allow anybody to interfere with the way we work. What I am seeing now is like the courts are saying that Parliament is and, therefore, we must show them how to work. This is not the way it used to be.

• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Remind them when you meet them again that Parliament will always work conscientiously. Parliament will always work in the interest of people and there is no day Parliament will try to kill the people of this country. We will always work to ensure that the people of this country are protected. The courts cannot purport to want to protect the people. That is not their role. Their role is to interpret the law; to arbitrate. They are discussing issues that concern our people, deciding on how this country belongs to this Parliament and that is so because of the Constitution. ... view

• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This is because the Leader of Majority Party was talking when I was raising my Statement. I hope he got the question and will deliver a good answer in two weeks’ time. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the major issue about capacity building that we need to talk about is this: The term has been used very many times to a point where every time someone holds a small meeting, he or she says it is capacity building.
