• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for information, other uniformed services means other national services. Given what we have witnessed in this country, our potential to be ethnic, balkanised, violent or destructive, we need this important pillar. These are the armed forces, police services and other uniformed services, so that they can rein us in when we are trespassing or transgressing on the law. We need the armed forces, police services and other uniformed services to rein in the merchants of impunity, to be excluded from the vulnerability of being abused, contaminated by the behaviour and lack of ethics which we have ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. It is a matter of details. Perhaps, you are confusing even those who are attempting to understand like me. The hon. Attorney-General, while being a Member of Parliament by virtue of his office, is a member of the Committee of Experts. If the Attorney-General is standing to tell this country that he has had no opportunity to instill intellectual legal wisdom at the stage of the Committee of Experts, I think his amendment on the Floor of the House is denying us, representatives of the people, elected and nominated for special ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the causes of corruption as very well listed by the Prime Minister, I felt – because I have been doing research in anticipation of my PhD thesis – that he has left four important causes of corruption; the impunity of the corrupt and not just the law; the impunity of the powerful; the collapse of our cultural integrity and the incorrigible genetic contamination. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute and support this very timely Bill. It is timely because it is focusing on a key sector which is contributing significantly to the reduction of productivity in the nation. It also causes other adversities which if not redressed at this juncture, will have very negative effects. With regard to the Vision 2030 that we talk about, we need to live today for us to be there tomorrow. The generation that is hugely affected in a very adversarial way by the hazards of alcohol and the weakness ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: A 20-year old is basically somebody who is in first year in the university. These are the categories of individuals that we want to produce. In my constituency, last year, I witnessed cases of suicide. In many areas, they are not reported, but they were not one, two, three or five. I know of one which included a very brilliant university student. The avalanche of alcohol and other drugs aggravate the mental capacities for one to endure and to be patient, tolerant and have even optimism. The effect on education is very negative, where we have domination of alcohol sources ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kazi kwa Vijana Programme clearly showed the dangers of alcohol consumption in many areas. My Ministry has records that the impact economic-wise was not very visible. This is because many youth were given money. I want to thank the Members of Parliament, Provincial Administration and Government officers who took time to advise the youth groups that were given these temporary contracts to invest. But where they were not counselled and given any capacity, they put all their earnings into alcohol. In fact, the payment day of coffee or tea farmers and those engaged in ... view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: If one morning I am able to do an illegal contract which will make me draw millions of taxpayers’ money with my proxies or tribesmen, I will be encouraging illegal trade. I support this Bill because it gives parameters for what needs to be done. Even when the moral law is been avoided, at least, there is a platform which can oblige a well meaning public officer to have recourse for a proper action. view
• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of the producers making obligations is important in the sense that we just do not need the Liquor Licensing Boards. I have seen there are references to the District Committees. I have seen about the adverse requirements that will make a difference. I have had references on the materials and laboratories to be established. I have no doubt this Bill will get support requisite enough to pass, the call should be more powerful on the implementation. The section on Government campaign, awareness and education, need to be fortified. We need to re- invest ... view
