• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: If there is no evidence, let that person go home and live his or her life. If someone is corrupt, he should be jailed in a record time. We will discuss with the Majority Party a legislation that should come up with a time frame within which corruption cases are supposed to be tried. If we say that a corruption case is supposed to take six months, it will be deterrent enough because those who get involved in corruption will know that investigation will be expedited. Two, they will know that once you are taken to court, the court process ... view

• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I really appreciate the efforts of the Leader of the Majority Party to table the Budget Estimates for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. I am aware that the Constitution talks about the Cabinet Secretary submitting those documents to Parliament at least two months before the end of the financial year. The spirit of the Constitution was that those Estimates need to be tabled in Parliament and the National Assembly before the end of April. Even though it is not explicitly stated that the House should be seized of the Budget Estimates, by placing the deadline for ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I just wanted to get two clarifications from the Leader of the Majority Party. First, I would like to know whether the Cabinet Secretary met the deadline when he forwarded those Estimates to Parliament. The Leader of the Majority Party needs to communicate to the National Treasury that they need to bring those Estimates in good time so that they are tabled in Parliament before the end of April. Today is 3rd May 2018. Once those Estimates are submitted to Parliament by the Cabinet Secretary, the Leader of the Majority Party can decide to take a month with them. What ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. First, it became necessary to insert this Article 204 in the Constitution because of our bad manners as a country since Independence. If we were a country that was thinking about allocating resources to develop the entire country in a better organised way, then we would not have this Article in the Constitution. Because over the years and because of the sessional papers that were drafted by people I do not want to mention, which entrenched marginalisation of certain areas in this country, it became necessary to insert this ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: responsibility of implementing the Appropriation Acts that this Parliament passed failed to do so, we are here again re-appropriating the same amount. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that we need to amend the PFM Act to cushion this Fund like any other fund that is cushioned like the NG-CDF so that we do not come back to re-appropriate sums that we had already appropriated. It entrenches marginalisation. What even annoyed me further when we met with the Commission on Revenue Allocation as the Budget and Appropriations Committee is that the secretariat, which is purely Government technocrats, ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: of the country. It is not about how many people fall below the poverty line or how many people do not earn a dollar a day. view
