• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we should look at this Bill in the broad sense. We should not look at it in terms of the supremacy wars between the National Assembly and the Senate. We are looking at development. One of the elements of development is leadership. There is no mechanism for co-ordination at the moment. There is no proper mechanism even for consultations. We presently have a duplication of efforts and in- fighting. At the end of the day, even if we have the resources, they will not be utilized they way they are supposed to be utilized. I support this Bill ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this particular Report by the Committee on the nominees who have been approved. I also support the rejection of one nominee. As I support this, it is also surprising that within one day, this honourable House is rejecting two nominees nominated by the President. That is because they are not qualified for one reason or the other. The first one who was nominated by the President is not qualified constitutionally. That is because he holds dual citizenship. We also have a list here containing the name of another nominee which has been ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, in a way, this is surprising because we might end up also having certain office bearers--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for protecting me. I am saying that it is important that when people are given responsibilities, they do them right. It appears some people somewhere within the Office of the President are not doing the right thing. They end up embarrassing the President because they have brought here nominees who are not properly selected and, at the end of the day, we end up having this kind of scenario. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I urge KNCHR that, as we approve these nominees, it should work for the good of the country. At times, those commissions appear to work for other agents and people. At the end of day, they scandalise their very own country. So, I believe that the people we are nominating to KNCHR will be energetic and provide leadership. At the end of the day, KNCHR should be able to provide guidance and look into issues of human rights. They should look into the rights of everybody, including those of children so that there is equality everywhere. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I stand to support this Report. I thank the Committee for doing a good and thorough job and coming up with it. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am actually surprised! I want to find out whether the hon. Member is in order to state that there is no Government in the area he is calling the Suguta Valley. I want to imagine that a Government--- The president was elected--- view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The point of order is this: Is the hon. Member in order to suggest that there is no Government in Suguta Valley? view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Budget on Supplementary Estimates. As I support it, there are certain areas in this Budget that we need to look at keenly so that they can be considered thereafter. We should look at different sectors, like food and security, which are very important. There are some situations that can be predicted in this Republic. It is important, in my opinion, that the Government speeds up the process of implementing high impact projects, like the already proposed irrigation projects. Even where there are no rivers, there could be constructed dams so that ... view
