• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: heal an inequality. If we talk of the issue of PWDs, that one is agreeable. We can try to level the playing field between an able-bodied person and a PWD. Good examples arise and some of them come to the top of my head. For example, if we are going to go to a campaign rally and a dais is constructed it will, of course, require a ramp for a PWD to access it. However, if we try to make the level playing field unfair to the gender of men because they are the majority in the House, we shall ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am humbled and thankful for this one minute. I will use it to say that we are not here as a House to make perfect laws because we will not be able to make them. As a House, we can make progressive laws. For that reason, I support because I believe this is extending goodness to more people in the country. Thank you. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We all understand that this is a House of debate. I want to know if the Member is in order to say Members who interject him as he contributes are out of order to so. This is not a House of monologues or one individual speaking to others. This is a House of debate. Is the MP in order? view

• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: when we need to address the issue of morality, ethics, purity of morals and even how we conduct our business as a country. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: In my support of this ratification of the formation of an Anti-corruption Academy, I have something that I think could be a good build to what is already happening. My build is that, as a country, we have made quite a number of efforts in this thing that we call anti-corruption. The fruits that our efforts are bearing are out there for everyone to see. The good book reminds me that they shall be known for their fruits. For the many years that we have been forming commissions and authorities, we have, ourselves, to prove what it is that we ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I believe that the aim of the formation of an academy is to look for a way to find a more ethical way of conducting business and to instill this at the earliest stage possible and hence the need for the academy.

That is because when we have dirty money finding its way to the borders of this country, we end up in a situation where we are prone to attacks by the very people who are streaming in that money with ill intent. Therefore, how we ... view
