understand and know who you are. This time, as we sit here, I can assure you that some of the leaders in this coalition have benefitted because of Hon. Raila. I have talked to Hon. Raila on many occasions and I know what he stands for. I must take this opportunity to congratulate him and His Excellency the President. But, most importantly, I urge the two leaders not to lose focus because both of them have a legacy to leave. They need to unite and fight this enemy called corruption and ethnicity/tribalism in this nation. That is the only way ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion on the Sessional Paper No.3 of 2016 on the National Housing Policy. I have been looking at it and even listening to the discussions from my colleagues. We all understand that this is a provision in the Constitution as laid down in Article 43 as cited by many of us. This is the foundation of life. As this country thinks of good roads and even as Members of Parliament, I think most importantly is that we have a lot of personnel in this country who are not ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to, at least, support my friend and neighbour, who brought this important Motion to this House.

Some recommendations were made and one of them was about payment within the 14 days that you have just suggested. I have no problem if payment is made or not made within 14 days. This same farmer at times borrows money at ...

if you go home today you will find many farmers have filled your compound – they want assistance in payment of school fees. They ask us to intervene so that the management of the sugar companies can pay them. Some of us call the management, but they do not listen to us. Therefore, we must come up with a policy that will regulate this kind of behaviour towards our farmers. I stand to support my colleague that we need to move with speed and salvage the sugar- cane farmers. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Just before I do that, I wish to take this opportunity, first of all, to thank the Almighty God who has given me this great honour through the people of Bumula who elected me to serve them for the next five years. I also wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed to the Chairperson’s Panel and the entire team that was appointed this morning. I have listened to the previous speakers. As new Members of Parliament, honestly, we are here ...
