• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill, which I support. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) is one of the national security organs. Article 242 of our Constitution says: “The National Intelligence Service is responsible for security intelligence and counter intelligence to enhance national security, in accordance with the Constitution.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, certainly to provide the counter-intelligence and promote national security, it means that the NIS has to collect information. This is where I differ with my colleague, hon. Mbadi. I wish he was prevailed upon ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill but I have concerns with regard to Clause 31. This is in Part III on page 2082, about cooperation with other authorities.

Two, and which is really critical to me and it is good because the Minister for Defence is here, if ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just saying that those are the issues that we need the National Land Commission to investigate and address because people are suffering. You can imagine a situation where our land is utilized and people are killed, there is no compensation and nobody is concerned. This is very unfair. So, I think this is one area where the Commission should move in and make the necessary recommendations. Thank you. view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the action taken by the Assistant Minister but while we are still waiting for the findings from the inquest, where we disagree is where the late Lieresh was killed because the DC, area councilor and the police visited the scene and it was outside the gazetted military training area. While the Assistant Minister is carrying out the inquest, could he set a date that he and I and others concerned will visit the scene and determine whether this incident took place outside the gazetted area? view
