• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I will request Hon. Jakoyo to second this. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I also seek to second this Bill. We started wrongly. We started by assuming that corruption could be fought using a commission. When we were doing the new Constitution, we thought that commissions would help heal all the ills in the country.

Following the ruling, which I do not intend to challenge at all, the issue that keeps arising is what happens in cases where the referrals by the President, on their face, are not constitutional?
