12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, stock-outs in our petrol stations time and again has affected transport of children to schools, motorists and even Members of Parliament. We end up looking for fuel, particularly diesel, from one petrol station to another for a week. This is because the engines of our vehicles are diesel-driven. This is an issue that is critical in our country today. The oil marketers must wake up to the reality and make sure that the unnecessary stock-outs are not there. If this sector is not addressed properly, the country will not realise its objectives in terms of ...

Oil imports must also be diverted to the neighbouring countries. We have cheaper crude oil in Uganda and Sudan. Why should we continue to import crude oil far away from our region? Piracy has also affected the shipping industry and, therefore, importation of crude oil has continued to be impeded. We hope that if the recommendations that have been reflected in this Report are properly implemented, the cross sector will grow and improve in terms of performance and guarantee economic growth for our country.

Currently, we have seen motorists carrying jerry cans during traffic jams and yet the vehicles they drive are new. The vehicles are stationary because that commodity has become very expensive. Therefore, I call upon the Minister to make sure that the prices for this commodity are properly stabilized. Our schools will also be affected because they have buses. If students in secondary schools are not taken for drama festivals and other activities which are very important, they are likely to demonstrate. This should not happen. Therefore, it is important that the Ministry of Energy fully implements the recommendations contained in ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me, very quickly, thank the Mover of this Bill, hon. Kapondi, and its Seconder, hon. Ekwe Ethuro, for their very eloquent support. I note that our daughters have been brutalised for decades and centuries, and this has really stigmatised them throughout their lives. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Protestant Churches, some of which are in the country, which have gallantly fought the practice of FGM. They have done a commendable job. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Members must have noted that traditional circumcisers have messed up our girls. They ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker Sir, indeed, this is a very untimely death of a young dynamic officer. Could the Assistant Minister inform this House what humanitarian assistance the Government has extended to the aggrieved family so that their immediate needs are addressed?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Member on the Floor, Mr. Namwamba, in order to warn the Member for Mathira when it is in the public domain that the prayers that were conducted were for the healing of this nation? We should not be communal and sectional but we should be inspirational in all that we are doing.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to take the one minute donated to me by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs.

We urge them to continue in that spirit. In addition, let us also thank the Chairman of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), Mr. Abdikadir and his team, for doing a commendable job. I would also not forget to thank the Minister for Justice, ...
