• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for that ruling but allow me to bring it to your notice that the hon. Minister should not attempt through the back door to cast aspersions on my intentions. It must be understood that when I raised this issue, I sought clearance from the Chair. Had I done so by ambushing the Chair, then I would been seen to have been in a serious condition. However, as I sit down, this issue of great national importance that I raised has now been overtaken by the veil of secrecy because it has flushed into ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that problem is not limited to that particular police post alone. It is actually a national problem. The same problem is affecting Eregi Police Post in Ikolomani. When you do not have a senior officer amongst the three, when a demand is required that is unpalatable - for example going to collect a dead body - then those officers start looking at each other. They need to have somebody to command them. Could the Assistant Minister ensure that, at every police post, there is, at least, one officer who is in charge? view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has made a very serious statement that he is holding brief for the Leader of Government Business. You know that there is a pecking order. In the absence of the Leader of Government Business, there is the Deputy Leader of Government Business--- view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Defence. This is on the status quo at the Military Defence Headquarters. It is in respect of the ranking of senior military officers, recent promotions, retirements, demotions, discipline and outright dismissal from the military of senior officers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek to have the Minister clarify the following issues: One, does the Military Defence Council have a legal instrument that governs promotions, demotions, retirement and dismissal of military officers? Is this legal instrument the so-called "the Tonje Rules"? If ... view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, today morning, when Mr. Jirongo brought up this matter, most of us stood up to support his point of order. The Chair ruled that it was not going to comment on it because it was based on media reports. I, therefore, wonder if your ruling that you wanted to make today was based on media reports as you observed today, what is unique about the matter of this morning concerning what the President and the Prime Minister did with the Libyans? What is so unique about it that it should not receive the same treatment? view

• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just concerned that after the Prime Minister has just responded--- It is becoming clear that in spite of the House having taken a position that this matter is with a Departmental Committee, and in spite of the President having taken up the matter and appointed the Cockar Commission, the Prime Minister is here disowning what he did yesterday and wanting us--- view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issue raised by the Mover of this Motion requires a considerable ruling from you because one, she is the owner of the Motion. Without having initiated the Motion, we would not have had the opportunity to start debating it. Secondly, if she so chooses to have her Motion suspended, then it is my view that the Chair allows the House to vote on that issue whether they are allowing her to suspend her Motion or not and if it is so, then she can go and re-introduce it. This is ... view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you. CARRYING OUT DEBATE OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT IS AGAINST STANDING ORDERS view
• 29 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Housing. This is in respect of the sale of Government residential houses to civil servants that was started four years ago. This matter is urgent because the Minister has announced that he wants to refund thousands of civil servants the money that they paid as down payment. I am, therefore, requesting the Minister to clarify the following points: (1) What prompted him to rescind his earlier decision that those houses may be sold? (2) Why did it take this Minister ... view
