• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: 4892 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES February 11, 2009 view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: letters have not surfaced. There is even a letter about a poor lady who had supplied to the Board about eight bags of maize, but who has not been paid to date. That one has also not sufficed. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I even wrote another letter when the NCPB stopped selling less than ten bags of maize. I protested that they should continue allowing people to buy even a bag of maize at Sagana Depot. I was just doing my job, as a Member of Parliament, to assist my constituents. I have even written a letter to the Minister of State for Special Programmes, asking for maize. What is wrong with doing so? We were given 200 bags of maize as famine relief. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: What I am saying is that I will continue to assist my constituents to get more famine relief. Right now, I have about four cases of students who have missed admission to national schools even though they scored marks within the bracket of those to be admitted to national schools. I will continue writing letters to national schools to have students in my constituency get admission. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just trying to emphasise the point. We have even written to the Police Force on provision of police officers. Is it wrong doing so? view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: In conclusion, I am saying, if a constituent comes to me for help, I will continue to help. That is my job. That is why I am serving my second term in this House. This is clear campaign to divert attention from the real thieves of maize. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this wonderful and important Motion. I would like to take the first opportunity to congratulate hon. Affey for having come up with this very important Motion. view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was looking through it, to me, even these qualifications are too high. We need to reduce them even further. Take, for example, a driver. A driver does not need to have reached Standard Eight. What is required is if can read the road signs. That is all! Most of the competent and accident-free drivers are, in fact, illiterate. For example, the ones that were employed even during the colonial times. They were illiterate and, yet, they had accident-free record of 40 years. So, to me, even this requirement that a driver from North ... view
• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Let us come to the assistant chiefs. Why should one have a Form Four certificate? I think the colonial masters knew what they were talking about. The only qualifications for being a chief or assistant chief were two; are you married and development conscious? Those were the only qualifications. If you were development conscious and married, you would be appointed a chief, and they did a wonderful job. view
