• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the question that we must ask ourselves is: Are teachers responsible? The answer is that teachers are so reasonable. They are the foundation and beasts of burden of this country. They work under the worst conditions in this country. In fact, what teachers are claiming for is not even an eighth of their right. Today if teachers were to call for their rights, from their working conditions onwards, they would require to be paid even 1,000 times what they are being paid today. They are so reasonable that all they are asking the Government is to ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is important that we let the Chairman move; but it is equally important that we are not condemned unheard. The fact that you raise issues about deal cutting, sharing costs and not showing how this--- view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are responsible for the accuracy of the statements that we make before this House; there is the question of substantiation. If you are that lenient, then we shall continue injuring each other as long as we are not made to substantiate our claims. view
• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is important also to note that when we get to the campaigns, people are very malicious. Under the law, as it stands today, anybody can move to court, accuse you maliciously and all the cases will be published. There is no way you can stop your opponent from publishing false allegations and have them as their only campaign tool against you. So, this should be opposed. We should only make laws that can also be proved a year or two after, but not those which can be used maliciously against us. view

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am surprised that Dr. Khalwale asked for substantiation from Mr. Midiwo, but he did do give it. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, are you satisfied that the substantiation was okay? view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is Dr. Khalwale satisfied that he is also a “project”? Are you satisfied, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir? view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It I important that this matter is coming up at this particular time noting that very soon we are going for next year’s general elections. It is equally unfortunate that five years down the line we are still discussing issues concerning the IDPs. It is as if we are discussing about external IDPs. At the end of the day, we are more concerned with those running away from their country, refugees than our people. You cannot imagine a situation whereby a Government of National Unity; a Government that already has an obligation and ... view
