• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the Bill. Just like what Hon. Osotsi has said, I will table my reservations and consult with the Chair, so that we can bring some amendments, if they are in agreement with my reservations. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to state categorically that I am a new Member in this House. I have always been treated fairly by the substantive Hon. Speaker, Hon. Deputy Speaker and the Members of the Chairperson’s Panel. They always treat me fairly. Let me inform our new Members that there is a procedure in this House for you to get a chance to speak. There are 349 Members and each Member needs to speak. If you need to speak, you must have a lot of patience. You have to wait for your turn to speak. You also have to know the ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I should get a pat on my back from Hon. Osotsi because I said that this is not a toilet, but a House of rules and regulations. We should follow them. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I will go back to the Bill, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support it because we really need a very reliable source of energy. There are a lot of blackouts in our country. With the research we are undertaking in our universities, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: We also need an electric transport system. Without a reliable source of energy, we may not go towards that reliable mode of transport. If you have blackouts and you are in an underground train tunnel, you may be scared and there may be many accidents. If an underground tunnel does not rely on oxygen from a reliable source of energy, it may cause many deaths. That is why I support that we need to go to a cheaper and reliable source of energy. We also need to see the side effects of this reliable source of energy. As a growing ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I also have reservations because we will have partners and some countries will come to assist us to set up a nuclear plant. If they bring their expertise to set the nuclear plant and then, God forbid, we go into war with such a country which knows what is happening in the nuclear plant and has all the keys of the nuclear safes, it will be very easy for them to finish our country from within. It is like having an enemy setting up weaponry in your bedroom. Even as we partner with other nations, we have to be very ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: As a country, we signed and ratified the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1st July 1968. We are signatories to that international instrument. We have to be very careful. We should also have little autonomy. I urge the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy to enlighten the whole House on how much autonomy this House and the people who will be in charge of the nuclear energy plants will have in such plants. If they will be in a ministry and they will be appointed by the cabinet secretaries, their autonomy or independence will be limited. ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The board has 19 members to oversee nuclear energy plans and we need to know how they will be making decisions. They are very many. We need to reduce the number to align ourselves to Mwongozo that prescribes that we should have between nine and eleven members in boards of State corporations and semi-autonomous agencies. I will consult the Chair so that we can try as much as possible to reduce that number. view
