• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I am opposing it because we are talking about the clause. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I am supporting to have somebody who is supposed to sit with us here. Hon. Members, there is nothing for us to fear. These are people we are going to sit with, negotiate with and talk to, rather than you being exposed by EACC. These are people who have no business with you. They have no time to speak to you as opposed to the person we are going to be with here throughout. You do not want to see these people here because you have a reason. All of us would want to have tea with them. We want ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose the deletion of the word “youth”. This is still a continuation. Many times we have passed many Bills on the Floor of this House forgetting the issue of youth. If you look at the recent appointments, youths are left out because whenever we are amending these clauses, we also leave out their names. Once the Bill is signed, there is no justification that you can argue out that the youth must be given appointments. We do not look at these clauses when we are deleting them. So, I am opposed to the ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the further amendment. I hope Hon. Sakaja is going to listen to me. If you look at the composition of this Board, you will find that most of them are men. There is only one lady. We also demand that one-third should come from a different gender. This is very important. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I support, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stood to say I support. I just request if this could be included because we passed our Constitution and one-third should be--- view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I am not going to repeat what most of my colleagues have said. We are not going to have a field for very selfish people who want to dominate this profession, and say that other people cannot be registered. I wish our colleague was here; I would tell him that those people, or groups, actually do not have the technology which is there now. Once they try to lock out our young people who are preparing to become engineers, they will be discouraged; once they are out there ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have discussed the issue of human rights in several meetings and conferences and nothing has been implemented. I thank the Member who saw the need to bring this sessional paper on the Floor of the House. I will speak on only one issue, namely the issue of the older generation. If you could allow me to read Article 57 of our Constitution, which refers to the older generation, it reads:- “The State shall take measures to ensure the rights of older persons–– ( a ) to fully participate in the affairs of society; ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: When we were campaigning for the new Constitution, we talked so much and persuaded the older generation to support the Constitution so that they would benefit when it was passed. The cash transfer programme is going on. In my constituency, it has only covered 660 persons. The old people are looking at leaders, for instance, I, as if I have been cheating them. I support this sessional paper and request that the coverage be expanded to even cover three times the current coverage, so that many people can benefit out of that. Many people retire at the age of 60 ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Last year, we passed the Bill on persons with disabilities and yet, many of them are suffering on the ground. Nobody cares about their welfare. Once this sessional paper is adopted, I am sure many of those groups are going to benefit. I support. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. During nominations, many women lose their tickets because most of the political parties are male dominated. Many a time, women are denied certificates just because they think that they are unable to fund those political parties or they lack support from such fields. view
