• 23 May 2023 in Senate: partner is always the government. If you have a government that does not recognise that we need to grow businesses, then we will be killing the economy. How are we going to create employment opportunities if we cannot allow businesses to grow? view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: If you visit countries like China, you will realise that the businesses that they do with Africa are actually small enterprises. However, that is possible because they are able to do business with a disciplined economy, where your word is taken seriously. If you supply goods or provide a service, you will be paid promptly. That way, businesses will grow. view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: We are going to have a serious problem with employment, unless we recognise, as a country, that the best way to deal with the problem of unemployment is by encouraging enterprises to grow. If you give somebody business and you pay them promptly, tomorrow they will employ somebody as a messenger. They will buy a vehicle and employ somebody to be a driver. They will grow and start recruiting professionals such as engineers. That way, we will deal with unemployment. view

Madam Temporary Speaker, once we enact this Bill, there will be timelines within which to pay contractors. If you do ... view

• 23 May 2023 in Senate: We have built a beautiful house called Bunge Towers. I have worked so hard as a representative in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and set aside 51 offices for Senators to move to those beautiful offices. However, we are unable to move in because we are also in the thick of things. You can imagine, we are one of those culprits; people who owe suppliers and contractors. So, we are losing money allowing Members of Parliament (MPs) to rent offices simply because we are not able to pay our suppliers on time. The contractors who are supposed to supply us ... view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: I also appeal to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), they are sleeping on the job. I hope the new Chairperson; the respected Bishop Oginde, will do things differently. We need to fix the corruption cartels in our counties.
