• 7 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Now, given that patients from all the dispensaries are referred to Emuhaya Health Centre, and given that we have only one medical officer of health who is mostly involved in administrative work, since you have indicated in your answer that you cannot post an extra doctor there, could you, please, consider posting at least two clinical officers to that health centre which is purported to be a district hospital, so that those people who come to that health centre can get the required treatment? view

• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Speech which was delivered in this House during the opening of Third Session of this Parliament. First, and foremost, I want to congratulate the President for giving a very comprehensive Speech on the status of the economy of this country and giving the way forward on how we can tackle a myriad of problems this country is facing.

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am convinced beyond doubt that if this Bill is passed and enacted into law, this country is going to create a lot of jobs for our youth. We have a lot of resources particularly maritime ones but unfortunately we have not made use of them. Most of our marine resources have been left to foreigners and actually for no use. I believe this Bill if enacted into law, is going to bring a lot of changes and create jobs. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are doing nothing on the 200 kilometre nautical economic zone which we have. This is a vast area of marine that we are not making use of. We have foreign companies for Koreans and Japanese who are doing a lot of fishing in these high seas and we have no control over them. They are fishing and taking our resources away. With this Bill, we shall be able to license and register these ships and be able to control fees and determine what it is that they are taking from our marine environment. So, ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The marine industry is very important in the world and small countries, as weak as they may appear, for example, Liberia, have made their fortune from shipping. A small country like Netherlands is among the most powerful countries in the world but its economy is based on shipping. So, we need to develop this resource in order to create jobs for our youth. view
