• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will be carrying out a national census on 24/25 August, 2009. After the national census, there will be a household survey. We intend to combine those two so that we can come up with accurate figures that will suit the case that Mr. Chanzu is talking about. view
• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did say that for an exercise that deals with the magnitude of poverty index, you need a bigger sample.

• 22 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I know that we will be replying officially through the Minister, but I just want to share a few experiences with my colleagues. It is important that we appreciate the kind of issues that we have in the Ministry and take it upon ourselves as Parliamentarians to play the role of oversight, to be able to help ourselves. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the previous hon. Members who spoke and, notably, Mr. Midiwo, who is a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, is very ... view
