• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: kufanya kazi kama mfanyakazi wa Serikali hapo mwaka wa 2000 hadi 2001. Wakulima wengi waliathirika sana. Vijana pia walipoteza nafasi za kazi nyingi. Tukiangazia mnazi, vile wasemaji wengi wamesema, ni tegemo kubwa sana la wakulima kule Pwani. Ninaunga mkono Hoja hii kwa sababu jambo hili litawaletea wakulima sio tu faida, lakini pia hali yao ya kimaisha itainuka. Kama vile ulivyosema, kule kwingine kama kaskazini mashariki tegemeo lao ni ng’ombe. Ng’ombe wanaleta chakula, malazi, maziwa na hata pesa za kuwezesha wakulima kuwalipia watoto karo za shule. Kule Pwani, hasa Kilifi ambapo nilifanya kazi wanategemea mmea huu kuwapatia “maziwa”. Kuna “maziwa’ inatoka ... view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I wanted to add that the reason behind that amendment is that in all disciplined forces and services, we usually have the command and control at the top. Although it is a multi-agency, somebody at the top must take the political and administrative responsibility. view

• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I would like to just make a clarification. In the committee, the ranks that are indicated there and what our Chair pointed out is that the “Chief Petty Officer” and all the ranks in Part I and II were adopted from other practices like the US Coast Guard, the China Coast Guard and others we looked at. On that basis, the Chief Petty Officer has an equivalent rank in our military and defence forces. Since this is a multi-agency, we adopted the ranks. That should clarify. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Lands on the inquiry into alleged land irregularities. It is important that we include the amendment. We should also look into the overall policy as the Member who has just spoken said. We know for sure that quite a number of schools do not have title deeds. If this particular Report is implemented, we should also take cognisance of other public utilities that are subject to grabbing. We know that there are institutions that must be provided for whenever we subdivide land. ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In contributing to this Motion, I would wish to, first of all, thank the Chairman and the Committee for the work they did. I would like to point out that in terms of the provisions that have been given, there are key areas that have been addressed though not adequately. In terms of national security which we know is a major driver of the Big Four Agenda, we talk of police welfare - particularly housing - which we hope the Budget will provide for 20,000 housing units. I would propose that since affordable ... view

• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Bill. I am supporting it from the standpoint that this Bill will contribute to food security in the country a great deal. In the constituency I come from, Teso North, food insecurity has increased over the years. In the early 1970s, every home had a granary. Today, very few homes have granaries full of grains today. This Bill, with the formation of NIDA, will be the answer that we need to address food needs. Water supplies in this country is excess. The ... view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: maximum use of the water from the floods, rivers and lakes will help us to address food shortage and empower our farmers. Irrigation will not only address food shortages, but it will also address issues of empowering farmers in terms of income generation. That means crops that can be grown for cash crop production and for our industrial use can be grown through irrigation. The key aspect that I would want to see in the implementation of the Bill is addressing the 75 per cent of our farms. Small holder farmers’ practice covers 75 per cent. When we sometimes start ... view
