• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I must thank the Assistant Minister for being forthright. What is causing the problem is that the Government wants the Luhyia people to sit on the Teso people who are a minority in Busia District. The district headquarters which is being occupied by the Busia District Commissioner and Government officials is in Teso and belongs to the Teso people. Now, that the President recently created Teso South District and the people of Teso want to move to Busia, what arrangements does the Ministry have to ensure that the Busia people leave Busia Town, so that the ... view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the Assistant Minister knows the whole scenario on the ground. We have Teso people in Bungoma district. They are living under tyranny. We have those living in Busia District--- view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Government cannot determine the boundaries, could the Assistant Minister give the people an opportunity by way of a referendum, to decide where they want to belong? view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has said that they are creating districts in order to bring services closer to the people.

• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of the properties in town belong to the Teso. The Government offices were meant for Teso.

We want to occupy those offices now that we have a district; Teso South District. view

• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is just like Kenya having its capital city in Kampala. Is that workable? view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe you cannot understand the confusion. The OCPD Busia is inside Teso. The OCPD Teso has been told not to move here. The OCPD Busia cannot give security to the people of Teso who are living around that area. Those people have been left at the mercy of criminals. There are so many inconveniences. The people of Busia cannot repair the roads where the district headquarters is. So, the people who are suffering are those I represent in Parliament. There is conflict between Government sectors--- view
• 9 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For the last two weeks, I have been seeking a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Finance regarding failure by the Government to release the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money. On Tuesday, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs promised that he would issue the Ministerial Statement today. view
