  • 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. The Mover of this Motion is doing the country good because, as the Motions says, malaria is the biggest killer in this country. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support the Motion, I was of the opinion that it should go a step further and say that spraying alone will not help a lot. We have concentrated our efforts on curative measures. We have not concentrated on preventive measures. We should attack the breeding places of mosquitos by taking adequate steps to ... view

  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to tell me what constitutes insecurity if three murders committed in the same area do not constitute insecurity.

  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wonder what the position of the Ministry is, the Minister having said that they are recruiting 4,000 teachers. Currently, the country needs 60,000 teachers in both primary and secondary levels. So, the 6,000 teachers they intend to recruit this year is only 10 per cent of the requirement. Is he telling us that they are educating our children or are they not educating our children, in view of the fact that teachers are not there? They are encouraging parents to take their children to school because primary education is now free. view
  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell parents to chip in, so that head teachers can employ teachers, because the Ministry is unable to do so? view
  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with the assurance that the patrol will be permanent and that insecurity has gone down, I want to thank the Assistant Minister. I hope he will keep his word. view
  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to tell us that funds are available without telling us how much and when so that this problem is solved? view
  • 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was on the Floor of the House when the House rose. I wish to continue from where I left on the budget democratisation process. I said that Members of Parliament being the voices and representatives of the people, it is vital that they have a participatory role in the making of the Budget. This is because as it is now, Members of Parliament have not participated in the making of the Budget. They were not consulted yet this involves taxation which is imposed by Parliament and which we have a responsibility to accept and explain ... view
