• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: As I conclude, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also take this opportunity to wish you well. That is because Luanda is where my happiness comes from. My wife comes from around that area and I wish you success. Whenever I drive through and see how Luanda is coming up, I just wish that you stay there for another five years, so that I can always be stopping there and taking a cup of tea with my in-laws and the usual “stuff”, if the head can allow. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and we wish you the best. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues, that indeed the National Treasury has continuously and without shame abused Article 223 of the Constitution, in respect to supplementary budgets. We have a few weeks to the end of the financial year. Indeed, it beats logic where they have been all these months, in order to bring a supplementary budget to resize or reset the budget we passed last year. Again, it looks a bit unfair because we have a lot of money being allocated towards infrastructure projects that require procurement, tendering and ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you are about to make that momentous decision, there are a few facts that we need to put in mind. I totally agree with the Members who have expressed themselves on the matter of public students in private universities, the challenges and the difficulties that they go through. Indeed, even in the Public Accounts Committee under the able Chair Opiyo Wandayi, we have raised this matter at length. But you are being invited here to rule on whether the Bill and the amendments are constitutional or not. Hon. Speaker, there are three issues at hand ... view

• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I also take this opportunity to thank Members of the Committee under the able leadership of Hon. Wandayi for the splendid job we have done in the past four-and-a-half years of the 12th Parliament. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: The use of public resources is very critical and that is why the framers of the Constitution were explicitly clear under Article 95(5)(b) that the National Assembly oversees State organs. One of the key oversight tools is to review the expenditure of various Government organs. Many times, as we go through the reports, we ask few questions. There is always a typical matter that runs The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: through the entire State departments. First, is the delay in providing necessary documents that the Office of the Auditor-General requires to complete the audit. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Second, is the general poor response to audit matters raised by the Office of the Auditor- General. However, we must note that in the fast few years, queries have continuously reduced. The measures that have been put in place through the Public Finance Management Act plus the fight against corruption, and strengthening of the procurement process, are now starting to bear fruits as evidenced by fewer audit queries in the subsequent years. However, we continue losing money and the debate that preceded this one concerning university students in private universities is a good example of how we lose money through ... view
