• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister has said that he will bring the two samples of the maize meal this afternoon. I hope he is not saying that the Chair will be one of its sellers. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my concern is the ability of the traders to discern whether their customers are of low income groups or of high income groups. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House how that will be done? view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister has not answered my question. This country has got low income groups, medium-income groups and high-income groups. He has said the maize meal is the same.

• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to assure the hon. Olago that I am not a usurper of other people's property.
