• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Exactly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want your direction on this particular Order because I have a similar amendment that passed through First Reading on 21st of July, 2011. It is currently pending in Second Reading. It is an amendment on the so called Mututho Law. Hon. Mututho has brought a similar amendment Bill. As I said, my amendment Bill is currently going through the legislative process.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, could you protect me so that I make a contribution. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think we are taking the security of this country very lightly. If we are going to go by the deletion and not support the amendment by hon. Githae, it will be very easy for any foreign agent to access classified information through our civilians and without any penalty. If we do so, we shall be at risk all of us. We will live to regret the day we passed this kind of legislation. view
