• 16 May 2017 in National Assembly: certain things that you cannot give a child or a grown up. You cannot measure it in terms of money. This Bill brings along that sort of concept for our children and youth. I would like to point out that just recently I was watching a movie called “Queen of Catway”. The story belongs to a young girl who was born and brought up in Uganda in a very poor background, and who finally made in the game of chess. She was tutored in the slums where she lived and was encouraged to participate in a game called „chess‟ at ... view

• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to add my voice in congratulating the President on the State of the Nation Address. Since I only have five minutes I would like to constrain my points to a few things - matters of fact - that I believe need to be brought to the public eye since most of his Speech has been quoted by many of the previous speakers.

• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: to, at least, give credit to the person for taking responsibility and taking the bull by the horns which is what I think our President has done since coming into power in 2013. In 2012, I went to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to get a certificate of good conduct. Recently, when I went there, I found out that there has been a very big change, e- Citizen has worked miracles. view

Everybody is talking about the wage bill and how it is going to affect our country. I feel, as nominated Members of Parliament we have been empowered enough to go for elective seats. This is what most of us who are nominated should do. Personally, I am going for an elective position because I feel I have been empowered enough. It is time, nominated Members of ... view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I see my time is up. I thank the President, once again for the State of the Nation Address and I support it. Thank you. view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you. I was about to give my thoughts to the change that Hon. Duale was going to bring, but since he has not made that change, everything is in order. I would, however, like to add that at a time when people are thinking that Members of Parliament are just spending their time campaigning, there are some of us who are busy here making amendments and passing laws. view
