• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I will highlight a few issues. We would like to see more reductions in Recurrent Expenditure and an increase in Development Expenditure which is a move in the positive direction. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I want to add my voice to those others who have spoken before me. The Executive needs to respect the other arms of Government.

• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to the comments made on this Motion. The auditing process is important, especially when it comes to prudent financial management practice. When audit is not done on time, the follow-up actions are not properly informed. It, therefore, means that we might delay many processes in this country, including allocation of money next year.

Any further delay of this process is not tenable, especially being aware that we will not be here to discuss ... view
