• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: not proper to expose the baby to this kind of environment. Issues to do with lactating or any other issue, unless there was another agenda she wanted to show…We also have children. We know very well that this place is out of bounds for children since it is meant for Hon. Members only. That is what we know. My humble request to Hon. Members is we embrace respect and avoid sideshows because we are here to transact serious business. It was not proper for the Hon. Member to sneak the baby through another door. It is very inhuman. I thank ... view
• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the look of things, it goes without saying that this is a matter of national importance in line with Article 95 of the Constitution. It says that this House can deliberate and resolve any matter of national importance. Will I be in order to request Hon. Sheriff Nassir to make it a Motion for Adjournment so that we can discuss this matter, at least, for an hour from 5.30 p.m. and come up with some resolutions on the way forward pertaining to this matter? You can exercise your authority under Standing Order No. 1 ... view

• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Two wrongs do not make a right. This is a House of traditions as you clearly put it. We have had some history and traditions about this. It is actually the first time we are hearing that the Division of Revenue Bill is originating from the Senate, contrary to Article 109 of the Constitution. As the Speaker of this House, you have mentioned many times, as Hon. Junet has clearly put it, that any matter of constitutionality can be raised at any stage of a Bill. We should not at any ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Independent Electoral and Boundaries (Amendment) (No.3) Bill. As you had clearly put it, Article 88 of the Constitution is clear in terms of the core business of the IEBC, that is, to conduct elections, referendum, and continuously register voters. I listened carefully about the selection panel. We know that the current Chairperson of IEBC and the current commissioners came to office through a selection panel. Unfortunately, the selection panel, upon the appointment of IEBC Commissioners, got dissolved. I am happy to note that in the current proposal, the selection panel will ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: gender. I request that you also clarify in terms of the Majority and the Minority. That will be important. It will play a critical role. The Committee Chairperson only mentioned the issue of the two males and two females. We have political parties under the current system of governance, the presidential system. If possible, if you will allow, when we go to the Committee of the whole House, we can amend the Bill for purposes of clarity. If we leave a loophole, then we have rogue PSC Commissioners coming on board – I am not saying that you are rogue, ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I support the Committee. They have done a very good job. As we move forward and since the Punguza Mizigo Initiative and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) are going on, very soon, the immediate likely assignment the IEBC is supposed to do is to conduct a referendum. Hon. Junet says that we should oppose the Punguza Mizigo because we cannot reduce representation all over the world. You cannot turn counties into constituencies. That is completely out of order. You cannot claim that wards are supposed to remain yet constituencies have to be converted to wards. It is important for ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank all Members who have supported this Bill. As I reply, it is important to note the fears Members have raised. For instance, there was the issue of entrepreneurship whereby some directors might be informal and have not gone to school. This regulation will not affect them. The regulation was implying that this institute will have a board. The board of that institute needs to be regulated. Entrepreneurs who start their businesses are not regulated. That regulation does not refer to somebody who has started a business such as Chepalungu ... view
