• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a sad day when a Minister of Government stands before this House and the whole nation to give empty statements on the state of insecurity of the nation. This Assistant Minister must be declared the Assistant Minister for insecurity and lawlessness! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I requested for the Statement, I was very clear.

• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just the other day, our own security forces were killed in Southern Sudan. The Assistant Minister, obviously, has not responded to a single issue that I raised. I need your guidance.

• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would hate to contradict the Assistant Minister, but when he invites me to agree with him that incidents of insecurity have reduced when I have given him incidents of insecurity in the last one week alone, on 2nd March, 3rd March, 5th March and 9th March, how do I agree with such a Statement even if I wanted? view

Only yesterday, this House concluded deliberations on the Speech of His Excellency the President and passed it without amendments. On page 14, the President’s Speech partly says:- “The national concern over corruption has been on top of the national debate for many years.

• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House has passed the Motion on this Speech. This House cannot be treated to various interpretations of “this”. It is no longer a matter of the two Principals. It is the property of the whole House and the understanding was as per the statement made here. So, that must be challenged and corrected. Is it in order for the Prime Minister to give his own interpretation? view

Kiilu should get a signed document. view
