• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Somebody wanted to find out what the word “teamwork” stands for. He found out that letter “T” stands for team spirit. If you go to some stations, do you find team spirit? Does one worker know where the other worker is? Letter “E” stands for energy. Public servants are all very energetic, but do they use that energy to serve the public? Letter “A” stands for alertness. They are not alert because I cited an example of a Lands office where you are told title deeds are not available. You should know the sequence of how people are receiving title ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: introduce checklists on how people perform their duties. It can introduce attendance registers, so that when officers are to be promoted, it can be confirmed how many days they have reported to their places of work. This is a very important Bill, and I urge other Members of Parliament that we pass it, so that it can improve service to the people in our country. It will also improve service in all sectors, including in the police force. I have an example where somebody called a police station and said he had been harassed in a hotel. The police came ... view

• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. Hon. Members of Parliament who are ladies should understand that the proposed fund does not do away with the Women Enterprise Development Fund or Youth Enterprise Development Fund. This is an additional fund to cater for men who are not catered for. This Fund, if it is created, will improve security. How will it improve security? If you are looking or assessing somebody to give a loan, at the time of evaluation, we use what is called “Campbell Law” where we look at the character of the person, the amount ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: loan, the ability to pay, the risk involved and insurance. In this case, the men who are getting the money are in the villages. Therefore, they will improve their character so that they can access the fund. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and the Uwezo Fund are very important funds.

The funds should not go to the account the way the Uwezo Funds have been sent and training is starting at the same time. Therefore, I would like to say that ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Chairlady. My colleague, the Chairman of the Committee, who is a lawyer, said that when the witness or the complainant gives evidence, he or she should be denied a chance to give submissions. I think it is wrong because you cannot say that it is only a lawyer who can submit on your behalf. Some of the accused persons may be lawyers. Therefore, it should be left open so that a complainant who is a witness can give final submissions at the close of a case. Therefore, the witness should not be denied a change to make final ... view
