• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The National Police Service Commission is very important in the management of the Police Service in this country. As a Member said, it deals with human resource matters. Those of us who understand how HR works, we realise that the commission has not been dealing with HR matters. They have been dealing with personnel matters. Modern day HR …. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: You will have to add me more time. Modern day HR requires focus on soft issues affecting people. In the police force, there is no work-life balance for police officers. That is why we have increasing cases of murder, suicide and even laxity.

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Motion is very progressive as the other speakers have said. It is going to open opportunities for Members to play their rightful role of law making. The work of lawmakers is to make laws. As you know, it has been very difficult to push through a Private Members’ Bill. We have over 80 Private Members’ Bills that are pending. Only 30 have gone through the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We still have many others still on the way. I think the decision of the House Business Committee was very innovative but I think we ... view
