• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: we allow lawyers to disclose their client’s information, we will also allow doctors to disclose their client’s information. You can imagine if a doctor said: “ Nimetibu huyu jamaa ugonjwa wakisonono!” As I finish, I have a little point of information to the MPs that from now henceforth, let us use bio-digesters and forget… view

• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to inject my voice in support of this very important Motion.

The Auditor-General now tables the accounts of county governments in the Senate, which is contrary ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: According to Articles 193 and 99 of the Constitution, the academic qualification of a Senator is equal to that of a Member of the County Assembly (MCA). I do not think that the county assemblies which have more than 1,800 members lack capacity versus the 67 Senators who have the same academic qualification as MCAs. That is why they are forming committees that belong to this House. The Senate has a Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs. Do foreign affairs concern the county assembly and county governments? I advise them that the best committees for them are: Stray Dogs Committee, Cemetery ... view
