• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very critical amendment. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Since hon. Kiuna was already suggested to be a Member of the Committee and he is a neighbour, being the Member for Molo, we need to be convinced by hon. Kigen why he thinks amongst all those names, the name that should be eliminated is the one of hon. Kiuna. This is the case and yet Mr. Kiuna neighbours the area and they also have some interest. Is this a scheme to tilt the Report of the Committee in a certain direction by removing a Member who may have crucial information ... view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also strongly of the view that this is not a matter of men versus women. It is a matter that every human being must have an interest in. Everybody who has an interest in the well-being and health of our children must have an interest in this view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an extremely grave matter. I have a lot of respect for hon. Khalwale. I know that the majority of the Members of this House also respect him as a very able debater and honourable Member of this House. However, that does not give him a licence to make deliberate generalised accusations against the Members of this House; that hurt their reputation. view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, politicians survive on their reputation. There is nothing more important to a Member of Parliament than his good name. So, when a Member of this august House decides to disparage our names generally, without a specific mention of whoever he thinks he has evidence on; is very grave and needs to be investigated. Indeed, there is no need for investigation because it is the person who makes the allegations who has a responsibility to prove them. He does not have any right to make allegations that he cannot prove. view
• 6 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: So, the issue of forgiving someone who has not even asked for forgiveness, or who has not even said he is sorry, does not arise. It is very serious, especially being a general trend that we have seen with many Members of Parliament who want to make political capital out of destroying other people’s names. It is a trend we have seen in this House by senior Members of Parliament. Whenever they want to look good in the eyes of the public, the easiest way of doing so is by accusing other Members of Parliament. This trend has demeaned this ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support this very important Bill that gives the public an avenue to directly have an impact on what is legislated here on their behalf. The Bill is basically a quantification of the procedure that was already existing before the new Constitution required actual legislation to provide for petitions. It is clearly a quantification of what is existing. As some of the hon. Members have said, there is need for an amendment to provide for an opportunity for feedback; we do not want to turn the House into a graveyard of petitions where ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The one you were seeking renumbering of is also reading wrongly. It is says “sub-section 1(f)” instead of saying “sub-section 2(f)”; the Bill reads sub-section 1(f) instead of 2(f). view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On page 1351, you want to renumber (2) as (3). It should read 2(f). view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I wanted to say is that Clause 50 is actually the transitional clause. So, the problem is with the numbering. There is no Clause 51. So, there is a saving transitional clause which is actually Clause 50. view
