• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: I apologize, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity, first to congratulate the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker, the Clerk and his staff for the way in which they have guided this House. As we go on this well deserved recess, I would like to wish all of you merry Christmas and a prosperous Year 2010. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. This amendment is simply trying to incorporate into the Bill the international definition of a “youth”. The international definition of a “youth” is the age of 18 to 35 years of age.

Kapondi could have been more courageous and instead of just saying “convicted”, going further. By the time one is convicted, people are going to constitutional courts and the cases are getting delayed. The ones that were filed in the year 2002 have still not been heard! I wish he could have said “where allegations have been made”. That would have been neater! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I said, I am supporting this amendment, but I wish the hon. Member could have raised the bar even higher! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also rise to oppose this amendment. If we effect this amendment, then it will make Ministers become civil servants. They will be in charge of all administrative matters. Ministers are not in charge of administrative and financial matters. A Minister gives policy guidelines to the Ministry. So, we should not confuse Ministers with civil servants. I do not want to be a civil servant! I want to be a Minister! view
