Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask him a question since he has talked of pending roads. How about the audit of roads that were done? There is a problem of not putting culverts on our roads. One of them is his pet project, the Iten-Nyaru Road, which he fought for over time. It is not done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I say this because I am his neighbour at home and I use ... view

• 3 May 2023 in Senate: The right of access to information delivered in a suitable and legible medium of instruction in the education system. What is suitable? We have different disabilities disadvantage our young learners differently. If you are not able to translate the materials to a media that can be utilised by different groups of disabilities, it becomes a challenge and a restriction to the learning of these students. Therefore, that is a very important clause in this Bill that, access is not only accessing education. You must access it in quality, but also you must access information that is delivered in a suitable ... view
