• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to second this Procedural Motion. In yesterday’s HBC meeting, we actually agreed on the issue since we are likely to proceed on recess from tomorrow, based on our calendar all the way to 3rd June that is cumulative three weeks, during which time the Budget and Appropriations Committee together with the Departmental Committees will be considering the Budget Estimates. Before we break there are some urgent businesses that the three sittings of today morning, afternoon and tomorrow afternoon would not have been sufficient. So, we request this House to allow an extra The electronic version of ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think we need to look at this matter and make a ruling that we are not going to have legislation in this House becoming untidy. The Bill that is with the Senate now is a Government Bill and was moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. There was another Bill by Hon. Njagagua, which is the same in content as this Bill by Hon.

• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: I can hear the Members are asking about the HBC. The reason we bring Bills to the Floor of the House is because the HBC need not be accused by Members of killing their Bills. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: If this House can allow us by setting that precedent that Bills can be killed at the HBC, we would, but I think it is dangerous.

If you give the HBC too much power to be deciding which business should come to the House, we can use that power, but we may use it dangerously. So, I am just pleading with this House to make a decision. view

I beg to move: THAT, the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2019) be considered and rejected. My reason for moving this amendment is to avoid any ambiguity. If we go the way the Motion is framed, then chances are that Members may end up even approving it without knowing they are doing so. We want to be clear that the National Assembly’s intention is to reject the proposed amendments by the Senate. Let me ... view

• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: No! I am the one choosing my seconder. I want Hon. Mbarire to second. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me start by saying that I still want to go back to where I was in 2013. You will remember then I had serious reservations as to whether Division of Revenue Bill should be dealt with in the two Houses or it is a preserve function of the National Assembly. view
