• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I, therefore, need the Chair to tell us what amendments he is carrying out when he has already amended the principal Act. If he convinces me that it has not been amended, then I support the amendments fully. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With due respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, he is deliberately confusing or mixing up the two concepts. There is the issue of compensation and the issue of taking possession. What he is referring to is compensation. You can be compensated in very many ways, but the principle still remains that possession can only be granted after full compensation. You can spread your payment for however long you want within one year and take possession after full compensation. What Clause 7 of the Bill talks about are the modes of compensation. You can give alternative land. You can ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I join my colleagues who have raised concern on the style and manner in which the miscellaneous Bill has been presented in this House. The basic and straightforward reading of the term “miscellaneous” or “minor amendments” should surely be done to rectify clerical and typographical issues or to align an Act of Parliament to any political or constitutional dispensation or any changes in some Acts that touch on that particular Act. What we have here touches close to 60 Acts, making it practically impossible for any reasonable Member to ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: allowed is not adequate. It, therefore, means, as my colleagues have said, you choose to concentrate on a few. We read malice in the way the presentation or the issues have been brought to the House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker… view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party does not have the benefit of my opening remarks. He got me in between. He might not have understood what I said initially and what other colleagues have talked before we reached here. We have said we are representatives of the people. I am a representative of Funyula. The various amendments touch on the lives and daily activities of the people of Funyula. You cannot interrogate the 59 Acts being amended here. It is not practically possible to interrogate 59 Acts in less than 10 minutes. Nevertheless, I will try ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: powers as those donated by officers under the East African Community Customs Management Act 2015 – that is an amendment to Section 32 – generally makes it difficult to believe that these are minor amendments. There are other amendments that require serious discussions. I am not so sure whether we have it right. The Registration of Persons Act Cap 107 makes interesting amendments. I think a colleague has raised the same. For example, there is a provision that you can identify somebody by the physical forms that one can see and touch. I find it very hilarious. How many more ... view
