• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is very brief. It is a requirement by the Government, I do not know under what law that for one to be recruited as a chief, he must have a Form Four certificate with a mean grade of C (plus).

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: chiefs who have served best are those people with primary school certificates or zero education. I do not see why as Members of the National Assembly we should have no qualifications required specifically in law when a mere chief needs a Form Four certificate. Could the committee also deal with the issue so that we ensure that all parts of the country really can have the services of chief? view

• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The money the President of the nation promised the country was money that was to be used for the presidential run-off. It was money that was to be available in the Financial Year 2012/2013. I am not misleading the House to clarify that this money was budgeted and it is not money that was promised.
