• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Further, I support their adopting because it is in principle and in line with our Integrated National Transport Policy (INTP) which seeks to liberalise air transport and improve our safety. That is something that should have been done a long time ago. These Agreements are in line with our laws and Constitution. On a broader sense, they are in line with the Yamoussoukro Agreement done in 1999 and endorsed by African Heads of State in 2002. It seeks to ease transport in Africa, improve safety and lower fares. The fares we are charged in this country are high. The Kenya ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: We should not only look at the countries mentioned, but also look at countries within Africa. The Yamoussoukro Agreement should be looked into. We need to look at intra-African movement. Many times when we want to move from one African State to another; we may have even to go through Europe. We need to increase intra-African movement so that we can enhance movement of people, goods, trade and even jobs. Some of the airlines in Africa are very small because they were started on the basis of nationalism and not on capacity to do business as big serious airlines. Therefore, ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: These Agreements are in line with the International Civil Aviation Organisation, a United Nations Organisation that regulates air transport. We cannot live in an island. When we get treaties that are in line with international organisations and treaties we are part of, we must bring them quickly into our law. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: They are also in line with International Air Transport Association (IATA). Our airline is a member of IATA. We must get these Agreements in line with that. view

It is a pity in Africa that we do not have the movement that is needed within Africa to facilitate, improve and develop African trade, yet we have the Yamoussoukro Agreement of 1999. African Union (AU) has now put it as an agenda for 2063. Sometimes, you look at the way things happen in Africa and wonder why we cannot improve infrastructure and transport in Africa. In fact, this Agreement was supposed to be put into place and to start this year. I am not sure if it has started. As ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: and as a Continent, if we have to bring our things together. We will make a lot more impact for the people of Africa. We have agreements we have signed, but we delay to ratify them. Even after we have done that, we do not implement them. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to bring your attention to the fact that we do not quorum in the House. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I seek a very simple clarification. Projects which are incomplete are of two types. There are those which are not under the NG-CDF like dispensaries and health centres which had already been started. There are those like schools which are still under the NG-CDF. We were advised that those which are under counties like dispensaries and health centres should be completed by counties but many of them are still incomplete and are still with us. Are they also being addressed under NG-CDF? That is the only clarification I need. view
