• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he brought some sanity in the transport sector. Which Ministry is Mr. Mwakwere talking about? I thought that he is the Minister for Transport! view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, owing to the fact that over the last several years the Government has not been recruiting teachers for both secondary and primary schools; bearing in mind that several teachers have exited the payroll through dismissals, resignations and natural attrition without replacement; taking into account the fact that free primary education initiated by the Government in 2003 nominally increased enrolment in 196 PARLIAENTARY DEBATES March 28, 2007 primary schools and cognisant of the fact that such acute shortage of teachers tends to hit marginal areas much more seriously ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to say that the appointments which were given to some of his colleagues were done on a regional basis, and that because we declined the appointments which were made on the basis of tribalism that means they can hire all people from one community? view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is quite misleading to this House.

• 22 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for having recognised me. I would also want to join my colleagues on this very important Motion on the Presidential Speech. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that we are repeating ourselves. We remember that last year's Presidential Speech was the same as this one. There is totally nothing new in this Speech. The previous Speech dwelt on economic reforms and so many other things which are included in this particular Speech. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues said, this economic improvement does not trickle down to the ordinary wananchi at the ... view
