• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: that time, we thought that they were doing a good job; it later on emerged that they were doing other things. Hon. Speaker, as hon. Anami puts it, the issue of human rights concerns both children and adults. Human rights include the day today activities that affect our society. We want an organisation that does not work like an NGO. The KNCHR should work like any other commission. As much as it will get external funding, it should not be influenced in its operations.

• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for allowing me to contribute to this Regulation. The issue of capacity building became contentious when these Regulations came to the House. We need to be on the watch out when the Ministry implements this. However, we hope that it will be standardized all over the country so that capacity building, in the next stage, becomes a function that can be able to--- We would have done what is called “training of trainers” who can continuously train others within the various constituencies.
