• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: not know the amount of these pending bills and does not have these records? Our assumption is that all the other ministries as far as money is concerned, respond to the National Treasury and when they have pending bills, they pending bills, they should be talking to Treasury. That was an important question that we needed to know the link between the ministries and the National Treasury as far as pending bills are concerned. Do they not have the data? view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I start by thanking the Members who contributed to this Motion. The Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference is a very important occasion for members of the Commonwealth to discuss many issues on governance, democracy, and status of various countries. I am very happy that the Members have captured this also in their discussions. I mentioned that out of a presentation from the leader of delegation from Kenya, the Rt. Hon. Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, a proposal was put forward, which we think will be accepted by many members and will actually transform the ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to add more because Members contributed very well. Therefore, I beg to move and request that you defer the putting of the question to a later date. view

• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First, may I start by congratulating our colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, for coming up with a very beautiful piece of legislation. For those of us who have travelled to Rwanda, we see this as a very important step in the right direction. In Rwanda, you do not see more than one passenger on a boda boda. In fact, they are so organised that when we were there for sports, we kept asking ourselves, what happened to us? How do we introduce motorbikes and confuse the roads ... view
• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: very important that we consider this because it is the mode of transport that is most commonly used. It reaches every corner of our country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also join colleagues who have raised an issue with Clause 13(2)(b) which introduces PwDs to be exempted from the requirements of sitting astride. I persuade our Senator that it should include PwDs and women. When this law takes effect and we have only one passenger on a boda boda, it will be possible to sit facing one direction. I persuade that it should come from him so that we reduce ... view
• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: ambulances, we will make it so easy for governors to ignore very rural areas in two ways, provision of the ambulances and provision of roads. The reason our people are using boda bodas as ambulances is because there are no roads. They are using very narrow paths to take people to hospital. We know that in some areas you even have to carry people literally using a sack and four men to get them to the main road. We should ask governors to take responsibility of our health. Health is a right in our Constitution that should cover everybody. We ... view
• 11 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you, for the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. I thank you and the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders for allowing us time to ventilate on what is going on in our country. I was in South Africa with Sen. Mungatana, but we could not rest without watching you in this Senate. We kept going back to the records in the evening to make sure that we are with you. I thank Senators because I felt extremely proud to be a Senator The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
