• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: country all over the world. These two things are being attacked from all sides.

• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Bill and encourage hon. Members who have problems to propose amendments so that we can have a good law that will safeguard our natural resource and the dignity of this country. view

• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We need to have our farmers educated on modern technology. The commission which will be setting the price will also educate the farmers on modern technology of farming. We say nowadays that maize and milk production is becoming digital.

• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion which is on health and environment. For us to be a healthy nation, there are two things that we have to take seriously. One is clean water and second is a healthy and clean environment.
