I have difficulties, therefore, to understand why, all of a sudden, there was a shortage of petroleum products upcountry when, indeed, there were enough petroleum products at the storage facilities and the East African Oil Refineries.

• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will have to forgive my use of wrong words. That is partly because I am very angry. Appointment of a judge is not a small matter.
