• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister seems to be trivialising this issue. He is misleading this House in trying to put generic terms that all of us are affected by the RFV.

It is best suited for Kacheliba Constituency and similar places, but I cannot afford it. However, the other thing that has come up is the issue of the media focusing on sleeping hon. Members. I would like to suggest that in future, functions like the State Opening should be changed, so that we have it in the morning when hon. Members are still very strong and fresh. Maybe we should have it on Wednesday mornings or any on other morning, so that ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Order! Order, hon. Members! This issue has even been ruled on this morning. So, let us leave these things out of our discussion. Let us talk about the President's Speech, which had nothing to do with the Hummer or whatever it is! view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Kimeto! That is not parliamentary language. What did you say they do with the money? view
