• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the consultations are very high. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary admitted that sugar and electronic goods are finding their way into the country. I find it difficult not to agree to the fact that we, as a country, are losing a lot of revenue because of the panya routes being used by smugglers. There are porous borders and that is true.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to insecurity as raised by Sen, Billow, ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to say that Sen. (Dr.) Machage is totally wrong.

I do not think we will do so now. If I come back to the answer I am supposed to give, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo suggested that we should build a wall, but is it possible or viable? You cannot compare us with Israel and the Arab countries that have borders of about 50 kilometres in length. I also do not think that walls cans stop all vices that happen in ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can only assure somebody of something you are aware of. I am not aware of KDF soldiers bringing arms here. So, I have nothing to assure you of. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in Senate: I agree with you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, but in view of the many outstanding Statements from this Committee, I ask the indulgence of the hon. Senators to give us at least ten days. view
