• 31 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Senate Minority Leader in order to mislead this House that when the current President was leading the Opposition, he spoke like he did or with stronger terms? We were in that Parliament and we know that he spoke with decorum, respect and not in an abusive manner. He spoke facts, unlike what is happening here. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Senator in order to mislead this House? We know that people can exercise independence. I want to remind him that I have the same DNA as the President and when he stood for presidency in 2002, I did not support him. I came out openly and declared my principles. I said that I was in the Opposition all along and I was not going to change because my brother was the presidential candidate. It would be a bad thing to put people in certain categories just because of ... view
• 24 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. May I inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that I have gone through much worse than he will ever think of?

• 19 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity for me to support this very important Bill. We all know that unless people living in an area; citizens or communities are convinced that the resources around them belong to them, they will not take care of them. It is also a fact that unless the resources are properly taken care of, they cannot be properly managed for the benefit of people.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also add my voice in congratulating Prof. Micere Mugo, a gallant woman leader. We tend to look at leadership only at the political level, but Prof. Micere Mugo is definitely one of the greatest leaders in our country and in the region, if not the world for women especially, who the girls and other women would like to emulate. I salute Prof. Micere Mugo; she is not only an academician who also won the Nyerere Academic Award, where she gave a fantastic lecture in Dar es Salaam but she also came ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Let me from the outset commend those who started the harambee spirit in this country. We have seen a lot of good that has come from the harambees especially in the past. These include building of schools, clinics, supporting those who were not able to do certain social activities and so on. In some of the areas where education excelled, we know that many of those schools were built on the spirit of harambee. In the religious sector, many churches have been built. The ... view

Specifically the Statement should:- (1) Shed light on the circumstances surrounding the hospital’s allegation that the babies were still born upon delivery or the mother had a normal delivery and heard her children cry. (2) Explain why the hospital gave wrong information that the babies were born dead while the DNA results have since established that the alleged dead babies do ... view

• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I understand the pain of the Senator who has just spoken, but I support the Motion. Going by the way we have been working, I doubt whether even another week will make a difference. We need to change the way we are working in this Senate with regard to Bills and Motions. We must make sure that we do not spend so much time bickering, but doing the serious work we have been appointed to do. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the leadership of the Senate. We hope that we are gaining good experience as ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to urge leaders to tame our utterances when we go out there. We are crying about insecurity in the country whereas some of us are responsible for fueling insecurity in this country. If we continue to talk the way we have been talking at each other and showing disunity as if there is a crisis in the country, I believe they will also react differently. I urge my colleagues and the other leaders to act maturely knowing that our youngsters and other people who are disgruntled are watching us. I would also like to ... view
