• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important VAT (Amendment) Bill. I stand to support with no reservations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, particularly in the animal industry, the scenario is that animal feed is very expensive. This has led to farmers buying low quality feeds. What happens on buying low quality feeds is low productivity. With low productivity, we have food insecurity. On the other side the animal feeds manufacturing industries in this country are strained; they have stocks and, therefore, they will retrench citizens hence unemployment. On the other side, ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: shameful. I think this Bill has come at the right time so that we encourage our farmers to produce more. On the health sector, as hon. Dr. Eseli said, antibiotic medicines manufactured in this country are much more expensive than those imported because of taxation.

• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion, which touches seriously on the economy of this country. I would also like to stress that this is also my maiden speech. Poaching in this country has always existed, but over the years, and especially in the last few years, it has escalated.
