• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very short, indeed. I share the sentiments of hon. Lentomaiga fully as well as the views expressed by our colleagues from the North and North Eastern Belt; the pastoral areas. We must remember that this is where our hidden wealth lies in this country. First of all, it is in the people, the livestock that is not yet fully exploited and it is going to be in the mineral resources that are going to be exploited. If today is bad, tomorrow will be worse. We know that for sure The electronic version of ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: from other countries. It is time that someone woke up. These insecurity dimensions take a different shape in every part of the country. It is extremely serious, but different shapes. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In Nambale, for example, we had five robberies in one night in businessnesses in Taga Corner and Nambale trading centres. Nambale Trading Centre is probably 200 metres from the residence of the APs and barely a kilometre from the police base, which got a new vehicle just recently. There is need for certain performance standards to be imposed on our security agents, their response time and active audit programme where there are cases of this nature. It is completely unacceptable that this should continue unabated as it has happened. It is time that this country had a security summit to ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: As I finish, I will just hope that we would get a way in which this adjournment can re-adjourn again on Tuesday when the House is fuller and when the Leader of Majority Party and particularly the Chair of the Committee on Administration and National Security are in the House, so that we can carry this to the next level. I seriously would like to propose that. I did not get enough time to reference the Standing Orders to see if, in fact, we can do so. I stand guided. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to add my voice to what the Chairman has said. This is one of the most important areas in any developing economy. The Bill must create confidence in investing and when you invest, you mitigate the risks so that complete losses are minimised. I think it is extremely important and I am glad so far that the amendments have been passed. I would urge the House to wholeheartedly support this. Thank you. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The intent of these amendments is to tighten the business of insurance. Insurance companies have been notoriously slow. They have been difficult at times in handling claims. These amendments seek to give them a framework – someone has called them benchmarks – which we expect to get some business conduct that is consistent with formal businesses that somehow meet the promises that they make when they are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: soliciting for insurance business. I think they are good amendments and I do not think they will complete the chain. I think it is a good start. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, there are other actors in the scene. They are covered in this Bill by the amendments which I hope that the House will consider. It is quite a horrendous journey particularly when you have claims in this country arising out of any kind of misfortune. It may be an accident, fire or whatever the case might be. In the case of accidents, starting with police reports, it is a nightmare. I hope that somebody will look at that and tighten that process. Getting a P3 Form and getting it signed is quite a nightmare. ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: When somebody is involved in an accident and wants to make an official report, it might cost him or her money. If you want to get a P3 Form, it is quite some hell. If you go to a lawyer – I have tremendous respect for my friend lawyers in this House – it might land you in a nightmare that is greater than what you had been in. I hope that down the road we are going to tighten this activity chain and ensure that there is sufficient compliance from the other actors right from the beginning of the ... view
