• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first of all, thank my constituents for re-electing me for the fourth time to this august House. I would also like to thank God for allowing me to sit in this House now for the fifth time consecutively. Allow me also to thank Members of Parliament for what they did yesterday. It was a historic moment that Members of Parliament from both sides of the House came together to put this country on the ... view
• 1 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this very important Motion. But I have a few problems with the proposed Education Levy Fund and the terms "poor and disadvantaged backgrounds." I think education in this country cannot be overemphasized, in the sense that it has not been given very serious thought in terms of liberalising its standards.

Later on after Independence, they had to get somewhere to live. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard that the Chebyuk problem started in 1965. That ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Ndoinet is in Kuresoi Constituency. Government land was allocated back in the 90s, but it was not de-gazetted. Some time back, two or three years ago, it was de-gazetted and given to certain individuals. As we are sitting here now, certain people are coming with allotment letters saying that they have been allocated those pieces of land. It is going to be a double or triple allocation. It is going to cause problems. In Likia, it is the same scenario. The land was given to people, but was never de-gazetted. It has the same problem. So, we think it not ... view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether the Assistant Minister is correct to say that once upon a time, I was a Minister for Lands in the last regime. I was never a Minister for Lands! I have been a Minister in charge of internal security which is for sure. However, I have not been a Minister for Lands. view
