• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would also like to congratulate Sen. Kwamboka on matters to do with that language. Congratulations. May I make my contribution to this Motion as amended. It is so important that we make this serious move in our country taking into account that our country is facing a big challenge at the moment. More so, when it comes to our villages, this pandemic has taken toll on most of the people. In Bomet County, for example, burials have increased in number to a point that I had to inquire what was happening from ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to support this very important Statement by Sen. Omanga. It is one of the most important Statements she has ever made. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support it because of the fact I would also like to highlight on some areas that are seriously affected by COVID-19, and the people working in those sectors are really suffering. Yesterday, I listened to the Chairman of the Transport Sector in Bomet. Those matatus that have been operating between Kisii, Kisumu and Bomet are really suffering because their system has been ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: I would like to call upon the Government to restructure the loan systems that were given to these people, so that their businesses are not seriously affected. The Government should go ahead to cushion these people because they play a very important role in the economy of this country. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to bring to your attention that the stipend that used to be given to the aged in our societies stopped several months ago. This is the money that they have been using to pay for their National Hospital and Insurance Fund (NHIF), and support ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to condole this great man, the Late John Pombe Joseph Magufuli. He was a pragmatic leader who through his discipline and strategies, revolutionized the public service sector in Tanzania. As a result, the culture of laziness and mediocrity in Tanzania became a thing of the past. I have been watching several clips; this man never entertained foolishness. He would visit some places very early in the morning and demand to see the functionality of some machines in some places. I wish that our leaders would visit some hospitals in this ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: presidents. He was so patriotic to the country of Tanzania and to the village where he was born. He promoted infrastructural development in a very simple way. As Sen. Wako has said, the cost of the Standard Gauge railway (SGR) in Tanzania as compared to the cost of the same in our country was minimal. This man loved his country. He was so disciplined and he really promoted the development of infrastructure in Tanzania. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: He also fought corruption to the point that there was a time that several ghost workers were laid off and he went ahead to bring integrity in terms of certificates. I remember very well that most of the workers who had fake certificates were sent home because he wanted integrity in the world of academics. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We learnt a lot also from him. He was a great listener who travelled on the road addressing his people. This is something rare among our leaders. It ended with the time of the Late President Moi. When we travel on the roads to villages, we are able to witness directly what is happening as far as development is concerned. This is what President Dr. Magufuli was doing. I remember even in some places, he could give opportunity to a girl to talk about what was happening in her school. On the spot, he donated Tshs5 million for infrastructure. He ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, as an educationist, the only thing I differed with him was his policy that when a girl becomes pregnant, there is no more going to school. I hope Madam President Suluhu, being a lady, will loosen that policy to enable some girls to get a second chance and continue with their studies. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja has mentioned something so important; that it is high time in our country and neighborhoods we took COVID-19 seriously. We have lost people because of this COVID-19 and the worst of it is in our villages. Hospitals in our home areas are not taking COVID-19 seriously. They do not even mention those people who have died because of COVID-19. That is why they are buried in the ordinary way as anybody else hence increasing the infection rates. It is high time that Tanzanians took COVI-19 pandemic seriously just as ourselves. President Dr. Magufuli was a great leader and ... view
