• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: What is the problem with that? The Board could have some problems and so that should be left to the Cabinet Sectary.

• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I thought the Chairman was at first saying that they should not be competitively sought. But he has now made it very clear. He is saying that since it is the Board which has competitively sought those people, they should not be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. So, what is the problem with the Cabinet Secretary appointing them? view

• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for at least withdrawing some of the very crucial issues that had come up through the land adjudication and the county government. It is important, especially for the Transition Authority that comes between the national Government and the county governments. Removing its functions would have created a lot of problems. Of course, you have seen what the county governments and the governors are doing; the Transition Authority is there to moderate some of these issues. For the Crops Act, we come from a ... view

• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: First of all, I want to not really condemn the CDF Committee and the fund manager. I would say that my constituency is one of those constituencies which have had a lot of consistence. The CDF manger has really done a good job in my constituency, in terms of being in office as required for the time he is required to be there. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: One of the areas in which I have a problem with is the board. The problem started recently when the CDF board took the CDF Committees through some seminars and tutorials within the constituencies. The management of the board needs to be questioned by the Chairman of the CDF because I think they misadvised the CDF Committees. When the board chairman goes to some seminar and tells the CDF Committee members that they are gazetted public officers, and that Members of Parliament have no business directing or telling them anything, it creates problems. That is the biggest problem that we ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: looked into. Currently, if the CDF manager is out of town for a month, all the processes at the CDF stall. So, I agree with the Joint Committee on that aspect. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, I would like to echo what hon. Wandayi was saying. The Member of Parliament and the CDF are one and the same thing, irrespective of the fact that the law has changed, making us ex-officio members. Should anything go wrong, everybody including the media will always portray the Member of Parliament as the person who should be answerable for the mess. We would like ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this very crucial Bill. I think that up to about 30 per cent of the road accidents on our roads arise from the removal of road infrastructure, especially road signs. When you look at the value of putting up that road furniture viz-a-viz how much money is supposed to be paid by the scrap metal dealers, there is no comparison at all. It is very bad when we lose so many young boys and girls to that business, when they leave school to collect scrap metal from different points. Hon. Temporary Deputy ... view
