26 Oct 2022 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion on approval of nominees to the Cabinet Secretary positions. If there is any singular responsibility that has been bestowed to this House, it is that of approving the Cabinet. In other jurisdictions, this responsibility is given to the Senate.

What is required of us, as a House, is to approve these Members based on their suitability to hold these positions.

Peninnah Malonza is being disapproved simply because she could not talk properly in the Committee. You are telling me that a person who was mentioned in corruption matters and whose name was brought here by the President is as clean as cotton. Let us be serious. I have never been in Government except in 2008 to 2013 when I was in Nusu Mkate Government. ...
