• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: should have spaces for the disabled, so that they get service instead of queuing all the time. They should look at interest rates. If they are disabled, they are not able to work like people who are not disabled. Interest rates should be checked. Even Members of Parliament who are disabled should be given mortgages here at no interest rates. The disabled should be taken care of at all levels. Sign language should be taught from primary school all through. I support this Bill and say that we should be the example. People should learn from here. When the disabled ... view

• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Bill, hon. Sakaja. This is a good Bill. These amendments have come at the right time. But, I think it is time we thought of opening a national youth micro-finance bank so that the money for the youth is channeled through that bank. This will help the youth to do procurement because they will have a bank that understands them. That is because major banks in this country will give the youth money at very high interest rates, which they may ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: youth gets a loan from the Uwezo Fund and probably he wants to buy an item using hire purchase finance from a bank, he is going to use the Uwezo Fund at a low interest rate and also get very high interest rates from the bank that will give the loan to that user. Therefore, that complicates the idea of the Government to give out money from Uwezo Fund at low interest rates.

What I am saying is that after the Uwezo Fund has been given to the youth, they may want to use that money to buy an item using a certain bank and the bank will give them money at very high interest rates. This will complicate the idea of the Government which is to give money to the youth at low interest rates. Therefore, the banks that are giving the Uwezo Fund should have a product for the youth so that when you get money from the Uwezo Fund and you want to use ... view

I had risen to find out at what stage Parliament can stop proceedings which are going on in another institution, which is the High Court? As I speak, Erad is going on prosecuting and attaching the NCPB properties. Are we not creating a constitutional crisis? There is no order from this House to stop the proceedings at the High Court. view
