• 6 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want it to go on record that Sen. Wetangula said that the police officers were “purporting”. Were they purporting or they were teaching? If they were teaching who gave them permission to teach? If they were rescuing the situation, were they purporting or they were actually teaching? I think that “purporting” and “teaching” are two different words. Could Sen. Wetangula tell us what he really meant? view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to note the speech from the Speaker of Rwanda. I want to say that it reminds me of several issues that we as a country need to put in place. It reminds me of my duty as a legislator. What is the role of us, leaders, in this country? What are we supposed to do for our electorate to hold us accountable? It also reminds me of how we address issues. It a high time that this country addressed or handled issues as they come because the more we hold ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Senate Majority Leader in order to mislead this House that when people are sharing power, they can make a decision? What I know is that the Head of the House makes the final decision. Is he in order to say that? view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to proceed. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of public procurement, I support this Bill. I still say that the 30 per cent that is supposed to go to women, youth and persons living with disabilities should not be lumped together. Why? In most cases, all the percentage is taken up by women and youth and very little is left for the persons with disabilities. Therefore, we must have a certain percentage specifically meant for people living with disabilities, so that their interests can be taken care of and what belongs to them goes to them. Many a times we are ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also support the Bill by saying that we need to have in place some structures and specific programmes to benefit persons with disabilities. When it comes to procurement, they should be given requirements which are regulated in a manner that are friendly to them. This is especially on the issue of the money required to register companies, which should be waived to allow many groups of persons with disabilities to register companies that will enable them to participate in the procurement process. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we empower people living with disabilities through procurement ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank Sen. Musila and the Deputy President for coming out to support the issue that is of concern to all parents and learners. I want to request that the directive from the Deputy President should be in the form of a circular because most institutions rely on circulars or written communication for them to implement the directive. It is a good initiative and a good support to parents and learners within the community who depend on us as legislators. Let us support this initiative ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important Bill. I want to thank the initiator of this Bill because I did not know that fellow Senators without disability understand disability issues. From the way they are contributing to this Bill, today, I have come to understand that they understand the challenges people with disabilities undergo. First, allow me to unpack the word “vulnerable groups” that is commonly used where it means people with disabilities, the youth and persons with disabilities. I want to say that this word makes disability not visible ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to put an intervention. I want to support Sen. Amos Wako. I do not know if we are being reflected on the screen there because yesterday I was among the first to put a request. In fact, there were Senators who came in while I was on, but I was left out. I wonder, am I really being reflected there? It is like I am missing in the system. Right now, I pressed the microphone, I put on “intervention” and I still was locked out. I am worried. Am I reflected in the system? view
