• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: where the scores were consistent, namely, 54.3 per cent in very many results. We do believe that we are not just signing the Charter for purposes that it has been brought to us to approve and have the Government sign. We trust and hope that those charged with shepherding democracy… The hallmark of democracy is where in an election the winner is acknowledged as the winner and the loser accepts that they have lost and seek other legal means to challenge the victory or otherwise.

• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for the wonderful job they have done by dissecting the agreement to avoid double taxation.

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: misunderstood quad and spectrum in respect to the Scrap Metal Act. So, at the Committee of the whole House, as a Committee, we have proposed that the amendments that purpose to talk about a police officer as an inspector above the rank of an inspector is misplaced because he is emerging as an officer appointed at the National Police Service, yet this inspector is appointed under Section 29 (1) of the Scrap Metal Act. We will make those amendments at the most appropriate time. Hon. Speaker, now as a representative of the people of Funyula, as we have always said ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Wanjala from Budalangi and I share the same unit based at Port Victoria. Whenever we are under attack and we call them, they say that they have no fuel, no tugboat or even gas and ammunition to confront the thugs from Uganda. As I speak here today, I have a constituent who was shot twice on the thighs within the waters of the lake in Funyula Constituency. We have followed up the matter. The Coast Guards and security systems keep telling us that there is nothing they can do because they have no facilities. They have no ammunition and they ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. The Departmental Committee has not been very clear. He said that they are changing the title from that of “Executive Director” to “Director-General”, claiming that that is what happens in other areas.
