• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is in regard to the issue of victims of crime. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I want to inform the hon. Member that, in the last Parliament, I brought the Victims of Crimes Bill to this House which lapsed before we went on recess. I have since again requested the House, or Parliament, to reintroduce it and it is in the process of being reintroduced in the House. Thank you. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I know because of this digital era, sometimes our points of order get a bit mixed. I hope you will indulge me because my issue was a matter raised by the Leader of Majority Party. But I know that in the last Parliament, the Committee on Equal Opportunity was pushed by the women hon. Members, but when it came through the men took both the chairmanship and the vice-chairmanship. I have seen hon. Sakaja in private to request him for once to be magnanimous and give the women their due position. I know hon. ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose the amendment. I am a Member of the Committee on Agriculture. We even had discussions with the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture. As a Committee, we all agreed, including the Chairperson, that six months is sufficient for us to look at the weighty issues and decide whether to propose a complete repeal of the Act or propose amendments to it. Proposing a longer period is actually tying the hands of the Committee. As a Committee, we will be forced to stop operations for 12 months. Why do you not give us ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to seek your guidance. I know you are aware that majority of us are new and it is good for us to get the procedures right as much we are learning. At this stage, it is not a debating stage. If you could kindly guide the House that the comments are limited to almost one sentence or a line; so that the House gets it right from the beginning. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for recognizing that I am the voice of gender, but it is not gender because gender is both men and women, but I am the voice of the women and also the voice of the people of Mbita. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I wanted to talk to the Leader of Majority Party, so if you could indulge me before he goes away. What I wanted to tell him has implications on his going away, but as he was speaking, he was raising concerns that are very important Bills before the House. He was concerned that many Members are not available to see. I do not think he understands the meaning of the majority leader. I have raised it before with him that if he cannot do that task, he should let me sit on that Chair because ideally, I should be sitting ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I want to say that I support the amendments. The Majority Leader should, in consultation with the Legal Department know that when he has substantive amendments to a Bill, he should bring a complete repeal of the Bill and not come up with piecemeal amendments because it becomes very difficult to make references and substantive contributions on that Bill. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: For example, there are some issues that I wanted to make references to but I could not get this Bill online or in the library. This is because there are very many amendments. I know that the Bill makes reference to the sections that we are seeking to amend. However, those sections have implications to other sections of the law. So, when you have these substantive amendments, you need to overhaul the Act. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that it is important for us to bring some level of development in the CMA and to keep in touch and be in tandem with international development and standards. view
