• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when giving the answer, the Assistant Minister said that they had sought advice from the Ministry of Public Works as regards the building that the school management committee said was structurally unsound. Could he table the evidence from the Ministry of Public Works which confirm that, indeed, that building is structurally sound? view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order because he did not say he will do something tomorrow? He said he will give an answer tomorrow. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the Minister was asked whether this country is importing GMO maize, she circumvented the question, and said that the Biosafety Act will be followed strictly. She had previously stated that the Biosafety Act gives room for research on this. Therefore, does the Biosafety Act guarantee the consumption of GMO maize, or does it guarantee only research? view

• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, apart from the Minister asking for the goodwill of the public and Members of Parliament to be whistleblowers, what instructions has he given to the agricultural officers in the districts?

• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was asking that because Treasury and Public Service Commission ignored the salary scales which already exist as per the Government--- I did not ask why they set the salaries. They have the powers but because they ignored the reality that there is a salary scale within which commissions are supposed to be paid, the amount that has been recommended for CIC has superseded the amounts that are paid to commissioners across the country. That is what has resulted in the fight between the CIC and the Government. What action is he ... view
• 19 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I would like to say that this Bill comes at a good time.
