• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I heard the Minister say a couple of days ago that Uganda is a friendly country. A friendly country does not hoist its flag on your soil. Whoever has a motive of opposing this Motion must have total disregard for our people who are suffering and are being taxed by a foreign and unfriendly Government. If I were you, I would back off, Mr. Minister. He has said that Uganda’s public resources have been set aside for the survey. I heard Museveni the other day say that those people will just read old colonial maps. ... view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion must be passed so that our people can feel that our Government is caring and that it can protect them. I urge the Minister not to spend public resources in doing something whose results we already know. We know that Migingo Island is Kenya’s and so is Pokotland. Museveni wants war. The man is blood-thirsty. We do not want that. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. President Museveni has called me, as a Luo, a mad person. This Motion is rightly before the House to discuss the rogueness of Museveni! I can guarantee you that I am not mad. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the Assistant Minister’s answer. However, could the Questioner declare his interest in this matter? Could he also tell us if one of the managers in the media company that has been dealing with this case is not a parallel competitor to the company that they are trying to destroy? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had a Question on the Order Paper, but we have squared it out with the Minister and so it is irrelevant. My second point of order is on the Question that was earlier on raised by Mr. K. Kilonzo. I want to beseech you to refer this Question to the relevant Departmental Committee to look at the issue. This is because this is a trade war where one company seeks to destroy another one and the media House involved owns the other company. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to seek one clarification from the Minister. About two or three months ago, the Prime Minister and the President agreed at the height of very great controversy to form something called Coalition Management Team. Cabinet Ministers are members of this team. What is the role of that team? How many times has it met? What is the intended goal? What do you want it to achieve if it ever meets? view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think the country is watching. There is no way the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs can refer to the Kenyan Constitution as it were, without referring to the National Accord. In fact, it is clear that what is in that Accord overrides the sections he is trying to improperly impute. I think the Minister should come up with a better answer to this House. The Chair recently made a ruling here that was clear to the country. We cannot sit back and watch the Minister lie to this ... view
• 26 May 2009 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir. He was misleading the country. view
