• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: So, we have done away with some of the ranks like the Senior Sergeant Major and Sergeant Major in some of the units. In the National Police Service, we now have 14 ranks. The idea is to reduce the rankings. Thank you. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Teso North, ANC): Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the National Youth Services Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 26/2018 and approved the same without amendments. Thank you. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I second. In the vetting exercise we did as the Departmental Committee of Administration and National Security, we found all the nominees were quite qualified in line with the Constitution and the Public Service Commission Act, No.10.

• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Part of the gap that we were trying to fill as Members of this Committee was the question of the speaker assuming office.

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I support this Bill for two main reasons. The issue of introducing ICT will bring efficiency and effectiveness in terms of reporting. Not only on reporting but also in sharing information which can be available to both members and other organisations that are interested in the SACCOs.

Some SACCOs have failed simply because information is ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Apart from that, though the Bill may not have gone further, I believe that with the inclusion of what we know currently, some of the small savers like the boda boda riders and those in the informal sector already make savings. If the use of electronic means is extended to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
