• 4 May 2021 in Senate: If you look at how we allocate money for roads under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority, the recruitment of the defence forces officers and the police, you will realize that it is based on the political units that are called constituencies and what we refer to administratively as sub counties. Therefore, it will be a novelty for our political system to allow us to share resources based on political representation. It is an easier way to resolve this problem. The BBI Bill has proposed to entrench the National Government -Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) into the Constitution. The current formula for ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: As I speak, in this Senate, I am the Senator with the highest number of Bills. I have five Bill as per the last count. Through this representation, we are able to change the narrative of how people perceive us because there is discrimination and stigma. People are able to see Members of Parliament and Senators who are like them and, therefore, stand up and be counted that they too count in this society. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, if I look at the composition under the BBI, I am very proud because we have the four slots in ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: ethnic conglomeration, then 67 per cent of this country comes from the so-called five ethnic groups. I prefer to call them ethno-political derivatives because they are not really ethnic groups; they cannot speak the same language in one sitting like this. However, it is a political identity, so they are ethno-political identities. The question would be: if that is what would make the country to move forward, so be it. If that is what is going to make us not fight, so be it. However, two things arise from this consensus. One, how do you make sure that you disperse ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: powers to amend. We would have arrogated ourselves those powers by having a referendum Bill that expressly provides for such amendments and, therefore, that there should be a consensus. I seek to rise and support this with reservations on some of those issues, but largely in my opinion, I think this is a good Bill. It may not give us the best that we want, but it is something we can debate. I hope that those weaknesses, if at all the Bill was to pass, will be cured by a watertight legislation that we, Members of Parliament, shall pass before ... view
• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Asante sana kwa maelezo yako ya ufasaha na hotuba yako nzuri. Sasa hivi nampa nampa Sen. Kinyua kutoka Laikipia. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, is it not in order for us to allow the candor of the Co-Chair of the Committee with regard to the real findings of his Committee in this Report? This is because Sen. Orengo said, as and when this BBI constitutional amendment Bill was with the county assemblies, it was a draft Bill. When it comes to Parliament, it becomes a proper Bill to the people. If that is the case, Parliament amends Bills. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, he then goes ahead to make a conclusion that as per Article 257 of the Constitution, we have no powers to amend the Bill. So, what are the inconsistencies that we are hearing? Is it not in order that we just listen to the report of the Co-Chairs, of course, with the understanding that even if it is unconstitutional, we have nothing to do? He is just highlighting what then cannot be done by this Parliament. In that case, the promoters of this Bill say that it is a constitutional consensus. Now, this is a cocktail. If ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Asante Sana, Bi. Naibu Spika. Ningependa kuunga MaSeneta wenzangu kwa kutoa rambirambi zangu na heko kwa Mheshimiwa John Pombe Magufuli ambaye niliwai kukutana naye mara mbili hapa Kenya katika pilka pilka zetu za kisiasa na katika Chama cha Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) wakati nilikuwa mwanachama. Ni Rais ambaye aliwai kutungiwa jina nzuri sana la Magufulify; la kumaanisha kwamba ni ule utendakazi, hapa kazi tu. Ni Rais ambaye alishindana kabisa na rafiki yangu mwingine anaitwa January Makamba na akaweza kuwapiku hata Edward Lewasa kuwa kiongozi wa Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM). Lakini pia hakuwa Rais peke yake, alikua Mwafrika ambaye alihakikisha kuwa ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Kwa hivyo, ni mtu wakutajika sana. Alihakikisha kuwa hakuna ukora na wizi wa rasilmali ya madini tofauti tofauti. Hilo ni jambo nzuri zaidi kwa sababu alihakikisha kuwa Mwafrika hatanyanyaswa kutokana na wizi ambao unatumika na makampuni za kigeni hivi The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: kwamba tunapatia wenzetu malighafi na mwishowe tunapata bidhaa ambazo zimetengenezwa na ni mali yetu. Bi. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kusema kwamba ni vizuri kumsifu Suluhu Salma kwa sababu yeye ni mwanamke wa kwanza kuwa Rais Tanzania. Kuna mambo yake mengi ambayo yanatajika. Rais Magufuli hakuwa na haki mzuri katika haki za kibinadamu. Rafiki yangu, mhe. Tundu Lissu, yuko Ubelgiji kwa sababu ya kupigwa risasi kumi na sita (16). Mungu amsaidie. Wiki hii, anatibiwa mkono wake kutokana na tukio hilo. Tanzania, chini ya Rais Magufuli, haikuwa inawajibika katika haki za kibinadamu. Watu waligandamizwa, wengine wakapotea na upinzani ukanyanyaswa sana katika uchaguzi ... view
