• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and thank you again for observing rules and procedures but sometimes it will be very nice to indulge Members, especially using your discretion in Standing Order No.1. What we were really trying to do was to save time but instead we have actually ended up spending and not wasting because in Parliament we cannot waste time, but we have ended up using that time in activities that would, otherwise have been used another time. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to help us save time more I am requesting hon. Sakaja to please adopt my amendments because I have another committee meeting in the Committee Stage. Thank you. view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to say that I support. However, even in supporting I wish to say, as a very good proponent of devolution, that the Budget and Appropriations Committee would have deemed it fit to actually add more money to the county governments. I know that many of us are still not very happy with the rates at which the governors are performing in many counties. However, hon. Deputy Speaker, I think the fact that they are not performing is not reason enough not to give them enough money, but it ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, so, if some of those county assemblies are not directed, it is not because they have ill motives. It is because they do not have direction. We have institutions that were put constitutionally to give direction, but they are not giving them direction. I have been listening to what the Senate is doing and there is actually no difference between what the Senate is doing and what we are doing. If we move in the same direction or the way that we are going, then very necessarily, one of the Houses will die. It will either be ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: hospital. However, it also goes to say that in terms of services that we have, they are of very low levels. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was in some of the islands and I was actually telling one of my colleagues that I am going to make an application to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Members of Parliament are given a car grant which is to enable you reach your constituency. I serve six islands and for me to reach Takawiri, Remba, Ringiti, Risi and all the islands I use boats. I will need a boat grant to be able to ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I am not irrelevant because that Division of Revenue Bill is division of revenue between the county governments and the national Government. The money cannot be mine. That money will come from either of that part of that division. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when he tells me to buy that boat using my CDF money, I will be disadvantaged because that money which I will be using to buy a boat he will use to build a classroom. So, we must be put at an equal level so that he is able to serve his ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, finally I want to speak to the issue of youth polytechnics and I want to be very thankful that money has been put so that we do not put it to waste and we remember the youths of this country and build their capacity. Thank you for indulging me, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
