• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: defines how a worker – because these judges are simply workers- should take and proceed for leave. Therefore, this again will be interference with another arm of Government. Hon. Speaker, with those many remarks, I want to support but I look forward to these amendments being put forward by other Members and I. Thank you. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Just one minute. In fact, I had raised my eyebrow because I thought it was an extension of his term of service. If it is experience for the chair, 10 years is very good. It needs to be a very mature person. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you so much and thank you Chair of the Committee because the issue of Member of Parliament and MCA, like it has been very well stated by the Leader of the Majority Party, is a stigma. This change is a general one for everybody. I have loved the way the Leader of the Majority Party has talked. In fact, in future, the Leader of the Majority Party you should remember not to stigmatise trade unions so that they also operate in this space. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, thank you for this amendment, I hope the Leader of the Majority Party will also proceed to members of trade unions. Do not stigmatise us. We must also be free to operate. This is a very good amendment. Thank you. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. I have seen you enquiring a little bit more even on what has just happened. First, I think both Hon. Sossion and I were not in the witness box. In all cases, there were representatives of the unions who were speaking for the unions. We remained as Members of the Committee and the Chair, who is here, guided us very clearly that we were to declare interest as per Standing Order No.90. He guided us further that once interest is declared one may speak ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: state of emergency. They were the ones who, at one point, took over the leadership of the political movements in the absence of political parties. If look at the histories of Standing Orders, you will find that the first Standing Orders of this House were sponsored by a trade union movement that was based in Germany. Therefore, the trade union movement and Parliament are compatible. I wanted to say that pecuniary interest, which you have referred to, is a matter where there is reasonable likelihood of appreciable financial loss or gain to a person. In the matter that we were ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. Therefore, this is what Parliament should enhance. It should not gag experts in particular areas for one reason or another. In this case, I want to submit that it all rests on our Chair to provide leadership within the Committee. If he told me “you are out of order, Hon. Omboko”, I would oblige. I have three options, either declare interest according to Standing Order No.90 or speak; to keep quiet continuously, or to appear as a witness, which I can do in this instance. The fourth option is to follow the orders as directed by ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to make my contribution. First, I thank Hon. Murugara for a very good Motion. I will be quick to indicate that village elders are the remnants of the African traditional structure of government that remained with us after colonialism, alongside the chiefs. Village elders were the original colonial structure of administration. They have special days set aside for them to brief chiefs and assistant chiefs. If they are accommodated into the pay structure of the Government, they will form the sixth layer of the Provincial Administration in this country. This is ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Like it has already been indicated, there are about 30,000 village elders who work in about 6,500 sub-locations. They render voluntary work to this country. Unfortunately, when we had the most recent survey from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), they ranked them very high alongside other groups of people, moreso, the teams that register persons in the country. Because they do voluntary work, they look for a way of paying themselves through small fines which are called by different names in different communities. To mainstream this structure and make them operate properly without affecting the entire community by imposing ... view
