• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is something that hon. Namwamba talked about. He tried to correct the Leader of Majority Party, based on the fact that he had advised the hon. Member who seconded the Motion that he was on the Jubilee side. What hon. Namwamba needs to consider is the fact that the Motion is sponsored by a minority party. That is the bone of contention for the Leader of Majority Party. view

• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Development Bank. When it comes to areas of development of infrastructure within this African region--- We talk of areas, for example, in this country where right now we are thinking of increased trade between Kenya and South Sudan.

So, if we are going to have the East African Development Bank, these are areas that we can easily be able to approach and ... view
