• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, which date will the Question be answered? Could the Question possibly be answered next week on Tuesday? view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. The effective date, no doubt, will be tomorrow 27th. The moment the Constitution is promulgated, it becomes the law of the land and it will emphatically, in Schedule VI, Clause 13, be decreeing that Members of Parliament be sworn in on the same day. We cannot extend the day to mean 24 hours stretching it to the next day. The “effective date” means 27th. Immediately the new Constitution is promulgated, 27th will begin at midnight and will end tomorrow midnight. Therefore, if we hold any sitting thereafter, we will begin by subverting ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion and also to propose an amendment to the amendment in terms of time. I am proposing that the time 2.30 p.m. be substituted for 3.00 O’clock--- view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Bw. Naibu Spika, ningependa kuuliza Waziri swali hili. Shida ya barabara kama hiyo na zinginezo katika maeneo mengine ni mafuriko wakati wa mvua. Je, Waziri anashirikiana na Wizara ya Maji ili waweze kujua vile wataweza kubadili njia ya mafuriko ili yawe bahati kwa wakaazi wa sehemu hizo wakati wa kiangazi na pia kulinda barabara ambazo wanatengeneza? view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Hoja ya nidhamu, Bwana Naibu Spika. Kwa vile Waziri amekubali kuwa ataenda katika eneo hilo akitumia gari, ingekuwa vizuri kama angetuambia hapa ni siku gani atazuru sehemu hiyo kwa sabau wengi wetu tutaenda huko kama mashahidi. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the Minister is mentioning Dr. Khalwale in his Statement, is it possible that it be deferred to next week? It is a matter of public knowledge that Dr. Khalwale is involved in his election petition. That would be nice! view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I agree with the Minister that it is necessary to extend medical cover to bring in more people, there is no shortcut to legislative process. This is subsidiary legislation and the Minister is required to bring and table before the House such rules before they are effected. That would have given us time to debate and also seek further input on what he is proposing. Why did the Minister circumvent the procedure of laying it before the House? What is he going to do about those who do not work; not just those in the ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I commend the Committee, especially for recommending that the Government transforms its shares to ordinary shares so that the true position of its ownership in KPLC Limited can be reflected as 75 per cent. The current arrangement where the Government is reflected as a 40-per cent shareholder is totally incorrect and is convoluted and meant to give other shareholders who are not the majority shareholders, power of decision making in this vital company. Power is a vital resource and there is no reason the Government’s shareholding is not truly ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Attorney-General talk of a tripartite committee that will look at Mr. Mwakwere’s case. I just want him to let us know whether the same committee looked at the Dr. Machage’s, Mr. Kapondi’s and others cases. What is the relationship between his office and the NCIC? When NCIC forwards a case, is it not supposed to be taken to court in the manner that Dr. Machage and others were taken to court? view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion and also to break the monotony of listening to the Government congratulate itself. We must, for the reasons given by the last speaker condemn the leadership of the police for not having found out who killed innocent people at Uhuru Park. If Uganda can investigate and within days arrest culprits, then what is happening in Kenya? If Tanzanian police cannot only arrest, but also sentence a person who is trafficking human beings, what is happening in Kenya? We cannot just be asking for more money ... view
