• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Given the mood of the House, the level of deliberations that have prevailed in this House and in the interest of time, would I be in order to ask you to call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to this Bill. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda, nataka kuunga mkono kwa dhati Hoja hii ya kuongeza muda kwa Tume hii. Sote tunajua malengo na madhumuni ya kuunda Tume hii ni kwa sababu ya kwamba tunataka kuhakikisha ya kwamba amani imepatikana hapa nchini. Tume hii inaweza kuchangia pakubwa katika kuleta amani na umoja wa Wakenya. Bila Tume hii itakuwa vigumu kwa sisi kutekeleza mipango yetu ya maendeleo. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu ya kwamba Wabunge wenzangu waweze kuunga mkono Hoja hii kama vile wenzangu walivyosema. Bila kupoteza wakati mwingi, ninawasihi waheshimiwa Wabunge kuunga mkono Hoja ili Tume hii ipate muda zaidi wa kufanya kazi ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Upon carrying out a detailed research on the question at hand, we have established that people living near the boarder including areas such as Busia among others set their handsets in automatic mode and as a result pick signals from other networks. Any calls made during that period will be billed as roaming calls which are more costly than national calls. Safaricom billing is transparent and based on the service that a customer is using at any particular time and, therefore, a call made while one is on another network is ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope the people of Busia and all those living along the border are listening to me. It is not that the machines here are weaker than the machines across the border, we have been working together as Ministers for communications in the region to ensure that people in this region access services when in the neighbouring countries. This is an arrangement within the East African region. So, it is a collective responsibility for all of us as leaders. I urge leaders in those regions to share this information with their people, so that they can ... view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this particular problem has not come about because of any shortfall in access gap. If you are able to access MTN, Uganda, this means you are accessing Safaricom. So, that network is interlinked with that other network. That is to say that Safaricom network is available in that area for it to be able to connect to another network. So, it is not about any access gap, it is because of the interconnection arrangements. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if, for example, you go to the boundary between Kenya and Tanzania in some areas and you are using Airtel, you will be able to pick Airtel Tanzania or any other network that has arrangements with Airtel Kenya. So it is not only Safaricom, but it is all the networks as long as they have a partner arrangement with another service provider in another country. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel that is a different question all together, but let me attempt to answer it. I am not sure whether allegations by the hon. Member are true. However, I undertake to investigate and establish the facts as they are on the ground. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a totally different question. If the hon. Member wishes to bring it up as a different Question, we will answer it. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my response, I indicated that immediately you are approaching another network, a pop-up text comes up and tells you “Welcome to Uganda” or “Welcome to Tanzania”. So, automatically, that is when you should be able to know that you are accessing another network. If you have not been able to put your phone on manual mode, then that is the time you should do so to avoid roaming charges. view
