• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipatia nafasi hii pia kuunga mkono Ripoti ya Kuratibisha Itifaki ya Afrika Mashariki kuhusu Mawasiliano na Tecnolojia ya Habari. Teknolojia ni muhimu sana kwa sababu itarahisisha mawasiliano miongoni mwa watu ambao wanaishi katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki ikikisiwa kuwa na pendekezo kwamba tunataka tuwe na Jumuiya ambayo haina mipaka. Nafikiria mawasiliano ni kitu cha muhimu sana kwa sababu yatarahirisha mawasiliano ya simu za rununu na vile vile kuhakikisha kwamba operasheni za polisi hasa kufuatilia majangili pia zinategemea huduma za mawasiliano. Tumekuwa na wakora ambao wamekuwa wakizunguka katika nchi za Afrika Mashariki. Kwa hivyo, itakuwa ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Even as I support this Petition, I also want to decry that every time this Parliament sits such petitions are presented before it, but I have never seen a report tabled here.

The only seriousness that we can give to these petitions as a House is to expeditiously look into ... view

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I am also opposing the amendments by Hon. Tonui on Clause 10. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that we have sufficient legislations that cure his fears. The fact that we have contractors who have not been paid for lack of money does not mean that the law is insufficient and, therefore, we enact another law to cure that. That is something that can be addressed administratively by the contracting parties or even the courts specifically. So, I oppose this amendment by Hon. Tonui. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill because it seeks to ensure that contracts are not just negotiated poorly and signed by some officers. But that the Attorney General or county attorneys go through such contracts before they are signed. As a country, we have lost a lot of money through corruption. One time I was told that a contractor could just walk into an office and propose a service that he or she could deliver. Whether he or she is delivering oxygen or not, they would sit down, craft some kind of ... view
