• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity so that I can contribute to this Motion. As I support it, I have a lot of reservations when we talk about employing a bursar for every school. I do not think that, that will help. I have been a chairperson of a board of management of a primary school in my area and I know very well that there are other areas where we can tighten the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: management of FPE funds that are disbursed to those primary schools. If the Ministry would train the board of management to manage those funds, it would be better. Even if we employ a bursar, he will collude with the head teacher and they will still mismanage those funds. So, the best thing we can do is to train the board of management to run the funds that have been disbursed to their schools. We also have auditors in every constituency. I would ask the Ministry to take the responsibility to the auditors. The auditors are there. It should ask them ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I ask the Ministry to increase the money for maintenance. The CDF alone cannot do a better job when it comes to development of infrastructure of these primary schools.

• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: infrastructure in most of the schools is very poor. Even if the Member of Parliament for the constituency tries, he cannot build classes in every known primary school in that constituency. I would urge the Government to increase this money for maintenance. At the same time the head teachers need to be urged to do better maintenance of infrastructure in school as opposed to buying say, one window or two doors. I support the Motion. However, I know that the Government will not afford employing bursars. I, therefore, ask that in every constituency we get two bursars to serve all ... view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill because if our teams were barred from participating in the Olympics because of this Bill, it would have been very unfortunate for us. As Parliament, we have a duty to make sure that this Bill is passed so that our teams can have ample time to prepare for the Olympic Games. Once again, I support the Bill. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose the inclusion of this clause. In a country where people work for the downfall of others, I do not see how this will work. It will be witch-hunting and all kinds of things. So, for heaven’s sake, let us forget about it. Let us work the way we are today. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have just got here. I apologise. I did not probably get what was going on. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I want to be frank. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think I am not supporting this because if the Bill is for the youth, I do not see any reason why we should accommodate other people. Initially, whoever brought this Bill intended the youth to be the beneficiaries. So, let us all give the youth a chance to benefit. Including other people means we will lose the direction. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. If it were not for small political parties, I would not be in this House. So, I do not see why there should be monopoly in political parties. The comparisons we are giving with countries like the United States of America and Britain does not arise in this country because there is a lot of rigging in this country and, unless there are more political parties, many of us will not come to this House. view
