• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I conclude, I would like to ask my friend, hon. Mwaita, to say one or two things. view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me time to move this Bill. I want to thank my fellow hon.

• 19 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of IDPs has been going round and round. We are aware, and this is proof, that there are many IDPs who have never been catered for. I seek your direction regarding those IDPs who are still here and there.

• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Assistant Minister is not really addressing the matter. Both the Government and the citizens are equal in law. Could he tell the House when and after how long each judgment payment will be made? Secondly, could he admit that these cases come up because of the inefficiency and corruption in Government affairs? view

It is surprising that at the end of it, the hon. Minister is explaining to us how it is against the Constitution. Truly, this is a Bill this Government should have moved long time ago. His argument is not in good taste. Is it in order to allow this kind of argument at this stage? view
