• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Chairman said that when the Cabinet Secretary appeared before the Committee, she took very lightly the issues that the Departmental Committee on Lands had summoned her to explain. She said that she would transfer and sack more, so that she appears more times before the Committee. That is a bad precedent.

• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Initially, when this report was presented to the House, hon. Kaluma made a suggestion that the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee should have been involved in its preparation.

There are other areas that will need further amendments. At the stage at which we are in, we want to interrogate the whole report. We are not throwing out the report. We are only adjourning it to a later date, when we are able to look at the various amendments. view
