Being a Member of the African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption (APNAC), Hon. Kaluma also had some mischievous amendments which went through. I accept and agree that this amendment should not come through the omnibus Bill. However, it is very important to understand the roles of those organisations. We are talking about leadership and integrity. If you destroy any other controls like Hon. Kaluma seems to suggest… He has already said he would shoot it down. Let him come to the House, and we will talk about it ... view

• 11 Oct 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am not a lawyer. Ignorance of the law is no excuse whatsoever. So, whether he knows or does not know, if it is against the law, he should be charged. So, I am surprised that I hear this from a seasoned lawyer. We may need to look at it from its perspective.
