22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
In my community, one is not even allowed to know the number of animals in his livestock. Even me, I am not supposed to know how many camels I own. It is a taboo. So, we will not allow the tracking of animals. As far as I am concerned, I should say I own between 400 and 8000 camels and not 600 camels. It is a curse. So, please, we the pastoralists here do not even want to know the net wealth of a pastoralist. We do not count our animals. On tracking of animals, I will appear before the ...

22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this is a very important communication. I am sure that generations to come will use Articles 145, 150, 156(6) and 251. Hon. Speaker, you have raised serious issues among them is where you are somewhere in a bar and you find a list of members being sought; you go for a prayer rally and you find a member collecting signatures; and, you are walking inside Nakumatt Supermarket and you find your colleague who asks you to go to the parking lot to sign for him. This is now very clear. On the flipside, you will find members who ...

22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
protecting the Constitution. This is a very good ruling that will not only help this Parliament but will also help future Parliaments. The stage is set with the roadmap you have given and the Powers and Privileges Committee will do the necessary. The only clarification I would like to seek is this: What about the purported impeachments we hear about in the media? Do they follow this ruling from today or they will not be subject to the directions you have given this afternoon? If so, then we expect those colleagues of ours to follow the new directions and put ...

22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I totally agree with the Chairman of PAC. I am sure with the many things ongoing in the Judiciary today we, the House Business Committee (HBC), will consider that. I will talk to the Chairman and ask him which one, of the many reports he has, can be brought next week for priority. We will definitely do that. More so, there was the PAC report on the Judiciary. We will bring it next week.

22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second. Being a Procedural Motion, this is a straightforward matter. We know the history of CDF. We have been instructed by the courts to align the CDF with the Constitution. We have complied with that. We have even called it the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Bill. So, all we are doing today is to reduce the publication period so that tomorrow morning, it goes to the Committee under the leadership of Hon. Lessonet. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ...

22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
If possible, they will bring a report next week and we deal with it before we go for the short recess. This Bill, because it does not touch on the Senate, goes straight to the President for assent and we do what we are supposed to do. We will make our CDF legal, move on and build schools, dispensaries, chiefs’ offices and roads. With those remarks, I beg to second and ask my colleagues, particularly those who are Members of the National Assembly Select Committee on CDF, to sacrifice tomorrow and the weekend so that on Tuesday, we have a ...
