• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, very many years ago I heard a very old man talking to a very senior Minister about the mining sector; the old man told this Minister not to forget the stomachs of the poor people. Unfortunately at that point in time the stomach of the poor person was forgotten. Well, this Bill brings hope to people who legally own land. It is their hereditary land. This is where they live. This is where they belong and the land belongs to them. view

• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my voice to the Scrap Metal Bill. This Bill was supposed to be passed not this year, but as earlier as 10 years ago. I support this Bill. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: A few months ago when we had rains in Makadara, we had huge manhole covers being stolen once a month. They were replaced, but they were stolen again. We used to ask the people who live there the people responsible for the theft. They told us that they identified the persons, but nothing happened. That is the case and yet, a child could fall into the manholes when it has rained and never be seen again. A man could also come home from work late and fall into those manholes, die and nobody will ever know. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Scrap Metal Bill has come at the right time. We should make buying and selling of scrap metal legal. This Bill is basically for the vandals who have been roaming freely in our country for the past few years. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I agree that many businessmen have complained that this Bill has brought many problems to them because profits have gone down. However, I would like to inform the businessmen who deal in scrap metal that this Bill is not only going to be for their benefit, but it is also going to be for the benefit of our country. We need to bring sanity into that sector. view
