• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to observe that you are not balancing very well. You know we have Government on both sides of the House. So, if you give a chance to three Members in the Majority Party side, you should also give a chance to three Members from the Minority side. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Motion because it is timely and very important. Right now, Members are aware that we are trying to expand our primary schools to secondary schools because of the Government policy on 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools. We are forced to construct secondary schools on pieces of land where primary schools currently exist. It has become very difficult for us to acquire land. The land where primary schools exist is not sufficient for secondary schools. The Government policy on construction of secondary schools is that you are expected to have equal amount of land ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Having a policy on funding of public schools is very important. I thank Hon. Kositany for the Motion.

As a House, we must make a decision and call anyone in the Government, whoever they are, who have grabbed land and ensure that the land is recovered.

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: If the House can appropriate resources specifically for expansion of schools, it will go a long way in helping us to ensure that our schools are properly managed and expanded.

When I engaged the community in the area, they told me that they were not willing to donate land. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Some schools were started through community initiative where a community donated land. Such schools do not have title deeds. Members of the families that donated the land have since passed on and to get the title deeds is a big challenge. We need to ensure that every school is given a title deed for its land and the process needs to commence immediately. This way, we will ensure that continuous grabbing of public land is avoided. view
