• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The boda boda subsector is a key contributor to business development because it ensures that farm produce reaches the market very fast. In the rural areas, farmers use view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: operators to transport cabbages, chicken and milk to the market. Therefore, this is a very important service. Other than these key roles that it plays, we have to accept that it is one of the very important contributors to youth employment in this country. Therefore, the Government should take this subsector very seriously. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Having said so, there are quite a number of challenges faced by boda boda operators, one of them being the high cost of motorcycles and motorcycle spares. Initially, the Government exempted motorcycles from Value Added Tax (VAT). Following the re-introduction of VAT on motorcycles, the prices of two-wheeled vehicles went up. That is one of the key challenges being faced by stakeholders in this subsector. Another challenge is the cost of fuel, which is high in this country. We hope that the Government will continually apply various measures to reduce the cost of fuel. If you move from one village ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: money through the Uwezo Fund. They can sell motorcycles and spares parts as they operate their own Saccos to help them improve their welfare. Consequently, the Government will be left with a few youths to sort out. One of the biggest problems in this country is unemployment, and the motorcycle transport is playing a key role in addressing it. With those many remarks, I beg to support. view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, the issue of whether the Constitution supports the action which has been taken by the House should not be there. I really wonder how some people are reading the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear; if you allow me to read Article 125, it is very clear. It says either House of Parliament and there is a comma. When there is a comma, what follows is different. It says ‘Either House of Parliament, and any of its Committees’. That means that there is no possibility that Parliament has no power ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, I was requesting to contribute. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. This issue of health is a very serious one and from the outset, there was a big mistake in this country and we are still following the same steps. You have heard governors asking again for devolution of education. The right thing that we should have done - and we are not going to go there unless we take a very serious step - was actually to devolve infrastructure. But that service is actually a policy issue which should have been left to the National Government. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, having said that, we have seen the governors behaving like the prodigal son in the Bible. They are asking to be given all the functions in a day. So, when we hear some quarters saying that we are enemies of devolution, it is not true. The Constitution is very clear. The devolution of functions was supposed to be done in three years in phases. It is clear. But the governors have said that they want all of them in one day. Now, the baby is crying. People are not getting the real services they were looking for. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the way out of this is for the governors to own up. The ones that are unable to run the health sector are known now. Some of them are running it well but some are not. So, the way out is for the governors to own up, follow the report of the Departmental Committee on Health in which we recommended that the counties own up and discuss with the Ministry so that they can actually revert back some functions which they cannot run. view
