18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is talking about lack of resources. If there are no resources to construct offices at Gingo, where is the Government getting resources to continue building offices at Mbita? Secondly---

18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the Assistant Minister to imply that I should appreciate? The district headquarters location was agreed upon by all the residents of the two constituencies. Therefore, it was not a token to my constituency. Gingo is the central place of Suba District. Mbita is skewed on one side. It does not serve the residents of the two constituencies well.

18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This House needs your protection, because it is being taken for a ride by Ministers. Ministers sleep on the job and wait for Questions to come then pretend to be taking action. How come that this thing took place a long time ago, and when the Question is asked the Assistant Minister is telling us that they wanted to meet with the managers last week who were not available. Do they close their offices to go and look for 1246 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 18, 2008 fertilizers? I wanted to know whether it ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, probably I was annoyed to an extent that I could not control myself. My point of order is: Is it in order for the Ministers to look at the Questions when we ask them and start looking for excuses and pretending to be doing something when they have not been doing anything?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister waited for the Question from Mr. Maina then he went to look for the managers of the KTDA and found that they were not in the office. Is it in order for the Ministry of Agriculture to sleep on the job, and wait for Questions from Members of Parliament for them to do their work?

10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Assistant Minister for answering the Question, I was just wondering what policy the Ministry has to continuously monitor the state of major roads in this country because it becomes extremely expensive when the roads are allowed to deteriorate after many years of neglect before the Ministry takes action. I have a case in point of June 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1095 Road C18, Rodi-Kopany-Karungu Road. The road was tarmacked in 1996. Two years later, the road started peeling off. No repairs have been done to date. I wonder what policy the Ministry has in ...

10 Jun 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank the Assistant Minister for giving the Ministerial Statement and giving a detailed account as to why there were two sets of prospectuses that were issued on 14th and 28th March, 2008. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas the Assistant Minister insists that there was no material difference in the two prospectuses issued on the two dates, I wish to state that the first prospectus issued on the 14th of March, 2008 did not have the signature of the Board of Directors and the external auditors who, in my view, ...

14 May 2008 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Much as we respect the history and tradition of this House of adjourning just before the Budget is brought before the Floor of the House, I wish to oppose this Motion on the following basis. One, for a long time we did not have a Cabinet. For that reason, we took a lot of time on recess, waiting for a Cabinet to be constituted, so that this House could transact business. We came here less than a month ago, on 15th April, 2008. We require time to transact business and pass Bills. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ...
