• 18 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I would like to oppose this Report even though I am aware that there is a proposed amendment to the Report which, if it succeeds, I will support it. However, in the meantime, I wish to oppose this Report. I was listening very keenly to Hon. Katoo ole Metito when he was moving this Motion.

My view is that this Report is basically going to take us backwards instead of helping us to advance forward. Therefore, it is going to waste a lot of time and we have no time on our hands.
