• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please allow me to make a comment on this as the Chair of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. We have just concluded a study visit to China and India on issues of food security. We tried to understand their history on how they dealt with issues of circles of drought in those two countries. What became very clear is that using the strategies that we have in this country, we will never be able to eliminate droughts or food deficiency in the country. This is because we just give lip service to this very important ... view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me finish. We have looked at the programme and they are talking about one million acres to be irrigated during the life of this Government. This will not happen because what we are now debating is 10,000 acres which have been stopped by the court. Even if it was successful, it would take 100 years to make one million acres.

• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to make the following interim response.

• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I want to say is without prejudice to the great respect that I have for the Chief Justice of this country and many of the Judges who are working hard to promote the integrity and impartiality of the Judiciary in promoting constitutionalism and the rule of law. view
• 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with due respect, I think that there appears to be a judicial conspiracy to undermine the work of the Senate, paralyze it and destroy this great institution called the Senate. It is being done through the guise of the Constitution and the rule of law. Somebody said that when tyranny counted to America, it would come wrapped in the American flag. When judicial tyranny comes to this country, it will also come wrapped in the garb of the Constitution and rule of law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the legitimate legal processes of temporary injunctions have been abused by ... view
