• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: (i) The Ministry initiated measures aimed at acquisition of land on which to construct a Chancery. During an East African Community Summit held between 17th and 19th June, 2007, His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni agreed to grant Kenya land in Uganda for this purpose. The piece of land measured 14 acres. It was expected that the Chancery and a trade centre/business park will be constructed on this piece of land. In exchange, the Ugandan Government requested that Uganda be allocated land of equivalent value in Mombasa that could be used for construction of a dry dock/warehouse. view

Since then, a lot of concern has been expressed about the cancellation of those results, especially in North Eastern Province.

The 2,927 candidates who had their results cancelled as a ... view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am almost getting there.
