• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Whether we vote on this other side or the other, it is not fair. The Majority Leader--- view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that the Speaker had made a ruling. You have also made a ruling--- view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, let me thank the Chair, hon. Abdalla, not only for giving me this opportunity, but also for ably being in charge of a Committee that has given us a very good Bill. First, as it has been said by hon. Baiya, the Bill brings out public participation and that is the most important aspect of this Bill where the public, in areas where we have wildlife, the public is involved in the management. They can also have their private wildlife conservancies. Secondly, it is the aspect of compensation. I come from near the ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to oppose the Report because if you look at the Report of the Committee very carefully, especially on page nine; you will appreciate that a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NACADA, has recommended that hon. Mututho deserves to be the head of NACADA because of the passion that he has to stop drug abuse in this country. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I come from a constituency where illicit brew was used in such a bad way that, to some extent, so many people were not able to do their business. Many young people were unable to go to school. Imagine a man and a woman waking up in the morning at 8.00 a.m. and going to a bar to drink. One may be a very healthy person but within two years, he becomes useless and unable to help to improve the economy of this country. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Bill that hon. Mututho brought to this House, which was passed into law, is the one that contributed to him not being re-elected to Parliament. It is the brewers, especially, who have used their position to influence that Mr. Mututho does not get elected to Parliament again. I want to agree with my colleague, Harrison Kombe, who has said that there is case which has been in court for over 15 years and yet, it has not been determined. Under the Bill of rights, it is indicated very clearly that the courts need to expedite cases so that if ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was actually reading the Bill. With your indulgence, could you give me a second chance after ten minutes? view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think I spoke on this and I do not want to contribute again on it. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just a few clarifications. One is about the court cases. He has mentioned two cases but excluded Donga Farm in Subukia. I need that clarification because there are some IDPs there. The Government bought land from the old man, but the daughters are now in court. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Not at all, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Secondly, he mentioned something about households and families. In Rift Valley, he mentioned 84,000 households and 408,000 families. Who are supposed to be compensated? What has the Government done about those IDPs? Some of them had land and the land is still there? Who is sitting on that land? Why are the IDPs left and maybe they have never wanted to go back. This is a question that the Government needs to tell us. Somebody asked something about the cash awards and I think that is the right direction to take. If my ... view
