• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support the allocation, especially that on capital expenditure. There has been a pending case for construction of the courthouse in Funyula Constituency, which could not start in the last financial year because there was no capital allocation. I hope they will move with speed to start the court building so that our people do not have to travel hundreds of kilometres to seek justice or to be taken to faraway courts after being arrested for drinking chang’aa . Thank you. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I stand to support the programme. However, I wish the Budget and Appropriations Committee could give the Agency more money. We have so many cases where courts are unable to proceed because witnesses are intimidated by police officers, especially with regard to complaints against police officers, or other victims. I wish we allocate more money here so that we can accord witnesses more protection and the services can spread all over the country. They should not be restricted to some places. view

• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to support the programme with a heavy heart because the events surrounding the National Land Commission (NLC) do not inspire confidence. The happenings at the NLC are, indeed, an embarrassment to the nation. They put into question the sincerity of the compensation and the land management issues. I just hope and wish that the new commissioners who will come into office will literally make efforts to remedy the bad image of the NLC, as reported in the various newspapers and the litany of court cases which are ongoing in court. I also hope that ... view

• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you. I will be brief. I wish to urge the TSC to move with speed and recruit additional teachers as they had indicated. That is because we have an acute shortage of teachers in both primary and secondary schools. The problem in worse in rural constituencies like mine, where most schools have less than half the establishment required to manage them. With those few teachers, it is impossible for our schools to compete with others. So, we need to move with speed. We ask them to make sure the recruitment is skewed towards those areas ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I hope the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) does not restrict its mandate and operation to protecting the female and girl-child only. This is because in this country, there has been over-emphasis on the girl-child and female gender at the expense of the boy-child who is becoming disillusioned and feeling unprotected. Therefore, I call upon NGEC to go beyond looking after women or girls affair and look at how we can resolve the ongoing conflicts brought about by the over-emphasis on the girl-child. Thank you. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the allocation to IPOA. I wish they could be given more money to enable them execute their mandate.

That is contrary to what my colleague, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
