• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a number of challenges, including drought and the hasty manner in which the KKV Programme was implemented by various Ministries and other Government bodies. There has been a lot of loss in the nurseries and also in areas where trees have been planted. As a Ministry, we have mobilised the Provincial Youth Officers to download their mobilisation to the respective District Youth Officers, so that youth groups which were engaged are involved. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: In all the areas where trees have been planted are public places, including primary and secondary schools, and National Youth Service compounds, we are also engaging with the administration of the respective institutions to ensure that the trees planted are taken care of. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by thanking hon. Sofia Abdi Noor for her interest in this programme, which has caused my Ministry to go to the field to even photograph all the nurseries and ensure that the youths who were involved were photographed in their respective areas of work. We have also managed to obtain authorization by the leaders of the youth groups who either signed for the youths or were involved in the preparations. We did that in order to authenticate the expenditure. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: We have conceded before this House in the past that the KKV Programme was ad view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: and my Ministry has decried the fact that we were not comprehensively involved in the execution of the various components of the Programme. We have now taken the responsibility and intervened in the respective Government offices, including the Office of the Prime Minister, to ensure that in future KKV programmes, it is my Ministry which will be duly and effectively consulted and involved. It was a big mistake because, in many instances, the youths have come to us and complained that they have not been paid for work they did for the Ministry of Local Government or the Ministry of ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in answer to that, first, you will agree with me that the issue about Shinyalu money for Kazi KwaVijana (KKV) is a different Question, which he is at liberty to submit to the House. However, if you allow me to share with Members this piece of information, which is very critical, we know that Members of Parliament were not involved in the roll out of the KKV projects within their constituencies. We also know that councilors in this country were not involved and did not have the details about the local government projects either on ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having conceded that, in fact, my Ministry was not involved and we have in the records of this House not once but four times. I admitted that the non-involvement was not deliberate; I would advise that the hon. Member, without abdicating our responsibility as the Ministry, submits that question to the Prime Minister, because we think that is where the buck stops. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard Mr. Imanyara very clearly say that the Government sought to raise money for the 2007 elections and that the same Government--- Is it in order for Mr. Imanyara to mislead this House? In our understanding, we have the Grand Coalition Government comprising of two partners. Is it in order for him to mislead the House that the Government of 2007 is the same Government that we are serving? view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening clearly to what Mr. Mututho is saying and what Mr. Kizito has said, I am wondering whether it is in order for us Members of Parliament now seized of a very important moment to discuss the Presidential Speech to be sort of captivated and completely dominated by the pro or anti-Prime Minister’s position. We are intelligent enough. What is consuming the time here are not the contents of the Speech by the President and the policies therein. It is about alliances for or against the Prime Minister. These are ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion of Adjournment. This is a necessary Motion to allow us to go and do extra work on the ground in our constituencies and also to re-engage where we may have disengaged. From the outset, I would like to appreciate that, indeed, this House has done a lot of good work. We have achieved many milestones. However, there has been disengagement, sometimes noise and disagreement. The greatest achievements that have been recorded by the Tenth Parliament might not be seen because the citizens of this country and stakeholders may sometimes ... view
