• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Okay. Thank you for the advice. First, I want to thank all the Members of this House who have supported this Motion. This Motion, as you have heard from Members, should be moved to the next level. It should be developed into a Bill so that it can now effect all the contributions that have been made by the Members of this House. Green energy--- view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. This is a Motion that requires us to look at our energy requirements in details. We need to focus more on how we can develop our current renewable energy which is available in abundance. At the same time, as many Members have said, nuclear energy has its advantages and that is all agreed. I want to thank hon. Nicholas Gumbo for coming up with that amendment to ensure that we continue with researching on how best we can use nuclear energy in other aspects, particularly in medical field and agriculture.

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: focus mainly on renewable energy. On this score, I want to thank the Government because it has put so much emphasis now on renewable energy particularly the geothermal energy. Currently the Government is putting a lot of money in this area. view

I look forward to us moving to the next stage of coming up with a Bill, so that we can operationalise this Motion into law. view

• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: In the Tenth Parliament, my colleague, hon. Lekuton, also brought a very important Bill and I had a chance to second it. That Bill was the Unclaimed Assets Bill.

• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, accidents in this country have become the order of the day, particularly accidents involving pedestrians. According to the statistics we have, over 50 per cent of accidents involve pedestrians. When you go further, you find that more than a half of them are children. Most of these accidents in many cases occur near institutions of learning. So, it is important, as my friend has said that we put up a very punitive law to ensure that we do not lose our children through these careless accidents which are caused by our careless drivers. It is important ... view
