Simjui binafsi lakini ningependa kuwapa pole kwa sababu huu ni wakati mgumu sana kwa familia ya mwendazake. Hata hivyo, sisi kama Wabunge ni familia yake pia. Sitaki kusema sana ila tu kuwaombea Mungu awape subra wakati huu mgumu wa buria. Vile vile awape wananchi na Wabunge wa Uganda subra katika mambo yao. Sisi kama Waislamu tunashukuru kwa kila kitu. Hata katika kifo, tunampa Mungu shukrani kumuonyesha kwamba hata kama sisi binadamu tunajua mengi, kuna mengi ambayo hatujui na Mungu ndiye hutupa maisha na tunarudi kwake tukishamaliza safari yetu hapa duniani. Nawapa pole na Mungu amlaze pema peponi alipowalaza wale wema ...

Senators have highlighted what each of the 35 counties that qualify for conditional grants will get. These grants are aligned to devolved functions. We have always shouted in this House that the resources must follow functions. This is the time we have ...

I sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation. There are many times when the National Treasury has brought regulations to by-pass some of the legislative lacunas or frameworks that do not exist. Why is this different? Why could they not use other avenues, including putting regulations in place, to guide disbursements of conditional grants? I support this Statement and congratulate our Chairman for bringing it. I urge this House to ensure we do not go into other things before we deal with this first. We must first deal with conditional grants.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support Sen. Kasanga on her Motion on fast-tracking cultural development in counties. I would like to congratulate her because she has always come up with very useful pieces of legislation that will definitely put her on the map of this 12th Parliament as having brought great change to our country in her tenure. The issues of culture cannot be gainsaid given that culture gives us our identity, language and future opportunities as well. As Sen. Sakaja has said, culture is not static. It is growing, unfolding right before our eyes. We ...
