• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important to shed some light on this colossal amount of money that we receive from the United Nations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister specify, or clarify, what the money is meant for? Are we being paid for our services? Is it salaries or allowances of those soldiers?

• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the sympathy. How sure can we be that the computerised system of admitting students to MTCs is not going to be tampered with to disenfranchise certain regions of this country?

• 12 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with all due respect, this is an issue of 2066 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 concern. We might be the minority on this side, but we deserve to be heard. We demand that right!

I think that is the lowest that this Parliament can get to. view

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last few weeks, there has been politics being played around with this money that it will go to the areas where the by-election campaigns are going on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister provide this House with a map of specific constituencies, locations and sub-locations where the Minister will use this money to sink boreholes so that the campaign for votes in North Eastern Province in the pretext of ... view
• 22 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good that the Assistant Minister has acted on this case. However, could he consider the cry of the populace about this issue of the increment of power charges under the guise of the increased Roads Maintenance Fuel Levy which was announced in the Budget Speech.
