• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we would like the President to work with the numbers that he has. Let him leave the political parties alone or to operate without trying to influence them to join the Jubilee Government. view
• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, when you first spoke in this House, you said that you will ensure that the political parties are respected. However, what we have seen in the last two or three weeks does not show that our President intends to respect the Constitution as far as dealing with political parties is concerned. Political parties should not be treated like land where there is a willing buyer willing seller. We must allow political parties to operate the way they should. view
