• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Motion. I agree that we need time to complete the business on the Order Paper. The Leader of Government Business should not worry too much. He was not sleeping. Indeed, he was napping on the job. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Nevertheless, since he has moved the Motion, I beg to support. view

• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The point my colleague from Ndia is making is that the Minister had said that he was not aware of the death. So, when he begins to explain why the dues have not been paid without saying that he has now found out that, indeed, the chief passed away, the record is incomplete. Is it in order for him to go into an explanation on when payment will be made without correcting the position in the House and saying he is now aware of the death? view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion and say that as a Committee, we have discharged our responsibility of vetting the names and call upon the relevant Minister, when presenting names to the Committee to be conscious of the requirements of the law, and also of the task at hand, so that he gives nominees who comply with the law. view
