• 15 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: I have heard people talk about people contributing money yet they will not get houses. These are like those people who pay their taxes, which we use to pay school fees for our children, but they have no kids. There are those who pay their taxes which we use to run the health system. They have not become sick and gone to hospital. So, arguing that because you are not going to get a house if you are taxed is wrong. There are people who have paid money for school fees and bursaries but they have no kids. This is ... view
• 5 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. I do not think that this matter should get here every year. This House sits and approves a budget and even a supplementary budget, where Parliament gets its allocations cut. But now we are proceeding for recess, yet no one knows when the NG-CDF money will be disbursed. This is the third year running where we have to beg for NG-CDF so as to get bursaries for our children.

We kiss and treat them like children. view

• 5 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: I do not mourn for anybody but for this House. What Hon. Wandayi and Hon. Ichung’wah are doing this afternoon, like bulls, should have been done a long time ago, not today or yesterday. It should have been done without bringing the matter to the Floor. Our leadership must take their roles seriously as concerns the welfare of Members and their constituents. It is a fact that if we do not do some of these things, they will keep recurring. We are proceeding with the EALA games this week, but we do not have enough budget for Members yet. We ... view
