• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The use of fossil fuels is now almost getting out of vogue when we have not even fully exploited its potential. As you know, we are still excited about it. I see this as a conjunctive source of energy to what we have. We have fossil fuels in Turkana and perhaps in other places offshore. We have geothermal and hydro power. This multi-sourcing is good. It improves the reliability of power supply and, hopefully, if everything is done well, we will reduce the marginal cost as well as the average cost of energy which will help our objectives of industrialisation ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: power. All we need is the opportunity to do so. I hope in this advancement we will get the highest levels of commitment towards the public policy process that will help to bring it on board and to nurture it to become a safe source of energy for us. Even advanced countries worry a lot about safety issues. In fact, there is a whole industry around issues of safety. I hope our people will get into that industry progressively. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In totality, as a Member of Parliament for Nambale I will be extremely excited that perhaps, once we solve our transmission problems, the issue of quantum of energy and its supply will buttress this system so that we can go for a week or ten days without power failure. In some countries, if there is any sort of failure, they transfer to an alternative instantaneously. But here, you can be in the middle of something important and then, there is a black out. I wonder how hospitals manage. They lose power, not even for one hour, but o a whole ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am excited about this and worried about it too, but I am hopeful. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf and that of the people of Nambale, I rise to pay tribute to the late Hon. Oduya Oprong whom I knew. He was a great leader from Busia County, Teso North Constituency. I got to know him when I was in high school. He was campaigning in the pre-election Parliament which was the first Parliament at Independence. This was an orator of great proportions view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am still trying to get this. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had relied on technology but it was not cooperating fully. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: (Nambale, ANC) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: (i) whether he is aware that the construction of Musikoma-Buyofu-Mungatsi Road (D258) to bitumen standards, which is largely in Nambale Constituency, has stalled; (ii) whether he could provide details on the implementation status of the said road and its budgetary allocation in the financial year 2018/2019; and, (iii) what measures the Ministry is putting in place to ensure the road is completed within the planned project period. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the basic thrust of the President’s Address that he delivered a few days ago. For me, these kinds of speeches emphasise constitutionality of our country. We have a set of conduct codified in the law and the Constitution that we follow. This is important because increasingly, we have personalised our achievement and lack of it around individuals. I want to start off in the middle of what I have to say. It is an important area of concern. It is on the issue of corruption. Corruption in any country degrades ... view
