• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you could protect me from Sen. Moi, just like you protected everyone--- view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought you were more aggressive when it came to me. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that while welcoming that Committee, I have realised that it deals with the welfare of county assembly Members. Even as they do that, I would like to ask them to do it with a lot of caution. Everything they deal with in terms of their welfare, they must have public interest in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wetangula is, within the constitution and the Standing Orders, right to raise any point of order. We cannot postpone the decision of the House on an anticipatory point of order. We cannot make such an important decision about postponing the House when we have nothing on the table. If this is permissible or agreeable to you, you would give Sen. Wetangula a chance to make his point of order known to us now. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a small amendment; allow Sen. Wetangula to make his case and then make a decision in regard to the case he will have made; whether you are going to give that ruling now or post pone the day we are going to vote, as per the consequence of his request. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With great respect to the Senate Minority Leader (Sen. Wetangula), it is unfair to this House to take precious legislative and House time on a point of order for 20 minutes. This is not a Motion. In my view, I find it a bit patronizing because it is simply a point of order. It is a procedural issue to canvass matters in a few minutes. I find it a bit in appropriate. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof) Kindiki): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have said so many times, that if the intention of the Senate Minority Leader is to annoy me, he should look for something else to do. Is it fair for him to stand here and he is a perpetual absentee--- He has even conceded that tomorrow he is going for a political rally in Dar es Salaam and he is piously talking about absenteeism. Is he in order? He is a trivial man. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the usual tradition of the Senate Minority Leader, is he in order to cast aspersions and impute improper motives on the distinguished Senators and Members of this House considering that the description that he is giving amounts to a violation of the rules that govern this House. Could he substantiate? view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to sympathize with the Senate Minority Leader, because the argument he has laid before us is hollow and not substantiated by the Constitution. I will go straight to the point because there is shortage of time. One, is in Rule of 123 with regard to how many Members will vote. The decision that, if we want to vote in this House, we must have 24 Members before us is not a constitutional decision. view
• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: It was a gentleman’s decision in the House where this House agreed - and I will give you an example - which this House agreed that for us to assist each other in passing Bills, it would be nice if we had 24 Senators. I remember this very well; that a decision not to sit in the House and vote is a decision by itself. The Constitution anticipated that 24 Senators would be needed to pass or require Senate’s intervention. It will be defeated if you decided that you are going to get 24 Senators.
