• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: I know my time is up and as I conclude we must also look at the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) and the former councilors. They served in public service and they are suffering out there. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and my friend Hon. Mwadime for donating time to me and for bringing up the amendment to the Bill. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Truly, the Bill on public service and values is important. However, we have not lived to the letter of the law. We hope these amendments will entrench that particular requirement. As my colleagues have said, we need mechanisms to punish those who do not comply. A county like Busia with many people of different ethnic groups... It is so unfair to find that all the plum jobs are held by one community at the exclusion of others. view

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had a discussion with the Chair. The response is more or less satisfactory save for a few issues of clarification which he has tried to do.

This is because as the response clearly indicates the breeding point for fish is at the mouth of River Sio. They breed and then move upstream. So, honestly speaking, I know this is a complicated matter. When our fishermen go to fish they are simply going for their fish and not anybody else’s.

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Report. I have had an opportunity to go through the recommendations from No.1 to 13. I must commend the Committee for the wonderful job it did within the constraint of time and technical ability. Nevertheless, as I stand here, I stand from a point of knowledge having been involved in a number of these dam projects through preparation of resettlement action plans. Some of the areas highlighted as the point of concern are true. One of the greatest challenges we have had in this country ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: the project without having put aside a budget for land acquisition and resettlement action plans for the people being affected. We end up with a project which has counterpart funding from the donors yet there are no local funds to compensate. Of course, as you are aware, for the past few years, there have been very many cases in court involving misappropriation of funds or unethical conduct by the people charged with acquiring land for this dam. Nevertheless, I believe the Government and the implementing agencies at various levels took into considerations the recommendations of the Committee. Probably the case ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think there was a technical error and my slot was taken up. Nevertheless, it is good to have a chance to contribute to this amendment Bill on the Finance Act. view
