• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: This is the crux of Budget, estimates are based on revenue and expenditure. Those estimates, once they are brought before them, they can do anything just as hon. Mbadi said. I, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, can decide to move this from one embassy to another. That is the work of the Committee. The work of the Committee is to go after the nitty-gritty in order to help the Executive. With regard to public hearing, this Committee even though mentioned in the Constitution, is only mentioned to define the work in Budget process. ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is these cheap gadgets. I rise on a point of order. This particular Motion was before the House Business Committee (HBC) in the form prescribed by the Member for Magarini. We debated it. The only way this Motion found its way to this House was when that word was changed to “urge” and I want to explain that. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the HBC is a Committee of this House. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: If you have given me a chance, then I oppose. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you say, “resolved”--- This House agreed largely with some of us yesterday when we said that we do not want this house to do the work of the Executive. The work of this House it to check the Executive. When you say “resolve” does it mean that we are we making policy for the Government? Is it something this House wants to make as we move forward under the new Constitution? view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: If you want to answer me, it will be good if you rose on a point of order. It is like a market now! view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Member was talking to me. It is so unfair. I will ignore him for what he deserves. We concluded that we want the Executive - now or in the future - to sell its policies to this country. This is a Government policy. What we are debating here, the Government has spent taxpayers’ money to arrive at it. It is not an arbitrary action by the Government. I do not want to delve into the meat or the body of the Motion because I will want to oppose the Motion. I am on the The ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: amendment. My reasoning is that, today, it is Jubilee’s Government and tomorrow it might be Jakoyo’s government. When I am in Government and I have proposed a policy, I want that policy to be tried and tested. It is interesting that a Jubilee Member of Parliament can propose to its Government that it does something against its own policies! What is wrong with this Jubilee Government? Who is in charge? Is it the Member of Parliament for Magarini or is it the Cabinet? I oppose. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute on this Motion. The only way I would--- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: That is my DC, I think she can read. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that when we debate Motions of this nature, we need to pay attention to one another. My sentiments are like those of hon. Bowen and with a very clear explanation. People are not equal in this country even though we want to assume that they are. Only the day before yesterday I was watching on TV a school in Galole where candidates are sitting under a tree. That primary school in their mark this year, in the just reported class eight exams, the highest ... view
