• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if the hon. Member was listening carefully, I had told him to give me a week to be able to dispense with the matter. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this report. I want to start by saying that there has been talk in the grapevine saying that yesterday the Chairman of the Committee on Lands could not be in the House because probably he had developed cold feet and he had left his baby on the road for the cars to trample on. I want to assure this House that I still own the report only that I had an accident the previous day and I know it was announced yesterday. I thank this House and those ... view

• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Indeed, we have a duty and a responsibility as Members of Parliament to check on the excesses of the Executive. If we cannot do it, then the 11th Parliament shall leave no trail of any good thing that they have done. Others have said that maybe the Committee Members or even the Chairman of Lands Committee will be defending someone or some people. I want to state I have no interest, I am defending the law. I want to defend the Constitution because of the responsibility that you gave me as a House and the Committee that I Chair. Indeed, ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to dwell on that because I am also an expert in Lands Management, but all I know is that you cannot survey fish, you can only count them and those kinds of things. It is important to note that these particular decisions the Cabinet Secretary was making, she did not involve the authorized officer, who is the Principal Secretary in the Ministry. Indeed, by law she is appointed by the Public Service Commission. Therefore, for any particular transfer, posting even creation of a post or position, the authorized officer is supposed ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, at one point, and it is very important to note this because it is in the HANSARD of the Committee, when the first statement was sought by hon. Mbadi, we called the Cabinet Secretary to the Committee. I want to tell this House what the Cabinet Secretary told the Committee. She said that she would transfer and sack more, so that she is called to the Committee several times. Indeed, I took that to be arrogance. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, protect me from the hon. Member who is saying that I am inciting the House. These are hon. Members and I cannot incite any of them. The position is that she was disrespectful to the Committee, although this is a matter that could not be brought forward because we were able to deal with it at the Committee level. It is important that we move forward. Some of the people we have approved as Parliament have become too arrogant to Members of Parliament. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is important that we tame them, so that they can respect the institution as well. Indeed, we have seen that in other areas. Just because they fly a flag, they will push a Member of Parliament without remembering that these are the people they appeared before for their employment. Hon. Speaker, Sir, we need to rein in this impunity. I support the Motion. Thank you. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I am present. I could not travel because of this request. I am ready with the Statement sought by the Member for Suba, hon.
