• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for protecting me from Sen. Methu. There have been several attempts in this country to arrive at Universal Health Care (UHC), to ensure that we provide health care to our people at all levels. It will be remembered that we started with the managed equipment services which became very infamous and was used as a cartel to siphon a lot of public funds. Now, we have progressed into the Facilities Improvement Financing Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, from where I sit, the spirit of the Bill is sound. However, the letter of the Bill is serious. ... view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know the Chair has ruled on the dress code in this Chamber. However, I keep saying this; we must respect the dignity of the Senate. I have a lot of respect for Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, but how can he walk in the Chamber in a T-shirt? This is not right. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is seated on the right of the Speaker, the last row. view
• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the leadership of the Senate on both sides, I take this opportunity to welcome the delegation from the Parliament of Uganda, who are here on a benchmarking visit with our Secretariat. I give them the assurance that they are in the right place at the right time. You have come to visit the Senate at a time that we have a clear demonstration of professionalism in the management of affairs of the Senate and of Parliament. The beauty of it is that the Clerk who leads the Secretariat of the Senate is ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to comment on the Petition concerning teachers and hardship allowances. Time is ripe for the country to come up with a proper policy framework on which areas are classified as hardship areas and which ones are not. It is a shame that there are some areas in this country which qualify for the Equalisation Fund because they are considered as marginalized. However, view

• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: when it comes to the issuance of hardship allowances to teachers and civil servants working in those areas, they do not qualify. There is need to harmonise the two. I am happy because we have that Bill before us. We must insist that the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) working with Senators and Governors come up with a formula of determining which areas in this country are marginalized and, therefore, hardship areas where civil servants and teachers qualify for the allowance. I thank the Petitioners led by the Senator for Taita Taveta for bringing up that matter because it is ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this important Motion by our colleague, Sen. Mumma. I support this Motion and my colleagues who have urged the promoter of the Motion to consider to move fast and propose several amendments to the Tobacco Control Act, 2007. When the Tobacco Control Act was being enacted, e-cigarettes were not an issue in this country and the access to e-cigarettes was perhaps limited to a very insignificant population. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Today, e-cigarettes have become the in-thing to many young people; that young people in social places want to be seen walking around with the e-sticks and doing their thing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what Sen. Mumma has done in this Motion is to trigger the need to consider a real national dialogue on tobacco and substances abuse. We may not want to admit it, but the fact is that the country is losing an entire generation to drugs and substances abuse. We are all to blame for this because parents have become too busy. I am a parent and these days, ... view
