• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is reasonable considering the magnitude of the matter that we are handling. Since it involves two partner states, we can wait for three weeks and get proper handling of the situation.

We must have a holistic approach to the slums that we have in this country. For example, I had a discussion with a ... view

• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: so that you do not talk of a city without its attendant services. You cannot talk of a market, municipality or upgrading a certain region to a city or a municipality without providing the services that we require. An example is the Economic Processing Zones (EPZ); the economic zones that we have created, not only in this country, but in other countries in the East African Community (EAC).
