• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion.

• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: acting within the law. Hon. Musimba and I have a long history. I started an organisation called CCK. When I left, hon.

• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must differentiate between light moments and serious moments. Since we are a presidential system, we have borrowed so much from the American system. I would like to quote what Abraham Lincoln said during very serious times of war and conflict. This is what he said: view
• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: “ Charity towards all and malice towards none”. I just want to appeal to my friend that he shows some charity towards the Speaker.
