• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you! The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was rising on a point of order. When hon. Junet was speaking he insinuated that a problem will arise only when a man will appear and claim that a woman is his wife. He even went further to claim that these people come to claim other people’s properties. Is it right for him to refer to women as property? view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: And I am glad to be. I do not support the deletion of this provision. The reason is simple: the society is so rotten today because we have thrown our values, cultures and traditions to the dogs. You cannot live with somebody’s daughter or son for five years and you say you are courting. Surely, it cannot happen. Traditionally, courtship was provided for. You know that style of throwing stones over the fence and asking in the neighbourhood how the daughter of so and so is and how her grandmother is. That is part of courtship. You do not have ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I withdraw. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just saying that we do not have to assume that it is only women who are used in the name of courtship. Even our very young sons are misused. They pay for their university education and even buy them cars. When they are done with them, they dump them. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. In their Report, the Committee has captured the issue of low absorption capacity, widespread wastage and corruption. This Report has highlighted a lot of things, which if implemented today; we will not be talking about this widely discussed topic, the high wage bill. The allocation of funds for the revamping and building of polytechnics in some parts of this country is a welcome idea. That is because we have produced many children who, after Class Eight, cannot go to any secondary schools. They are unable to join universities ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In the Report also, on education, they have talked about aligning the institute’s curriculum reforms in education. They want to align inputs with the requirements of the market. It is amazing to see some of the degrees we are running in universities nowadays, and the kind of graduates we are producing. It is actually very important to make sure that some of those people, after university, become creative enough to start self-employment and other micro-economic activities. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The Report talks about the agriculture sector and that is where my interest is. In supporting this sector, many a times, we talk about it and we forget the livestock sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The livestock sector, especially the pastoralism area, is an important economic activity just like agriculture. The little that is talked about in this Report is about dairy farming. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: When they talk about allocating money to build more slaughter houses, I wonder to slaughter what. Do they slaughter donkeys, dogs, cats or rats? We should improve the livestock sector to make sure that the products have a market. I would be happy if in this Report, they would talk about improving the livestock market sector so that, when we are slaughtering those animals, we can export them to other countries like Ghana, which imports meat from Australia and other countries. The livestock sector has been neglected so much. As I finish, I want to applaud my friend, hon. John ... view
