• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I would like to bring to your attention the fact that we are not equal in all aspects namely, infrastructure, education and other things. I am a Member of the Committee on NGCDF. There are some places that developed earlier than others. For us to share resources equitably in this country, we need to see who is suffering and who is capable.

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. I was just worried about the number of people. We have 11 of them, and maybe this may hinder the Board from making quick decisions. I wish he can reduce the number to a minimum of nine so that they can make decisions very quickly. Thank you. view

• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for honouring your word. First of all, I want to thank PAC for the work it has done. This is the first time I have seen a report written without quarrels or complaints from the members of the Committee. I would like it to be clear that public resources must be used well. Whenever we have audits in our Government institutions, we must bring to account some people who may have gone against the traditions or against the law.

Some accountants in our constituencies and Government institutions have been there for years, but have only been laying ground for corruption to happen. Some of the accountants have been in one station for, say, nine years. This gives them an opportunity to create connections and networks and that is why you see them get rich. It is all because of corruption. Sometime back, we recommended that an Accounting Officer must be in one station for two years only and then ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are some projects which are allocated money every year. You wonder how long those projects will take to complete because every year, they are budgeted for. The idea of continuity has led to a lot of corruption. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, sometimes, we also question the Auditor-General’s report. Sometimes, the Auditor-General rushes to a conclusion of a matter before investigating. When he appears before the Committee or if the person is called to come and answer questions, you realise that the Auditor-General went against the norms. You discover the report of the Auditor-General is not the way it was supposed to be. So, we appeal to the Auditor-General to investigate before he rushes somebody because somebody can be taken to court or somebody’s name can be mentioned in public and the reputation of that person can be questioned because the ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We also need the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to tell the Auditor- General that before he presents the report or before he gives them documents, he must make sure that he has verified and that he has the right information so that when we mention the person or mention an institution, what he has given the Committee can be confirmed from those who are going to be interrogated. view
