• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: You have seen the United Kingdom (UK) is withdrawing from the European Union (EU). They are pulling their representatives from the European Parliament, but we are still sending our representatives to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), to the Pan African Parliaments (PAP), IPU and to other cooperative legislative arrangements. We seem to be going against the tide. The tide is that of rising nationalism, but we seem to be converging even much more. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: I want to give certain proposals to President Kihika--- I believe that is a rightful title because within the IPU she is called President. Thank God the title is not governor; otherwise, she would have been in serious problems when she goes back to Kaptembwa. The IPU must embrace technology. Technology is now a disruptor. In 1889, you could do a meeting by all sitting in one hall. Today, I saw the Secretary-General of the UN address a conference via video link. Why can we not develop this Parliament to a level where we do not have to troop 19 ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: How do we deal with issues of nationalism? How do we ensure that democracy which is one of the goals and ideals of the IPU is enforced and observed by member states?

It is also an embarrassment Libyans would feel that they are being offered a favour to go to Rwanda. We must have a conversation around immigration.

• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: We must dismantle these artificial borders and immigration policies. The IPU should be at the forefront of this. By bringing together 179 states, you must also be advocating for the eradication and elimination of borders and artificial immigration policies that separate us, instead of bringing us together. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Finally, peace and security must be a focus for the IPU. Some of the 179 member states are embroiled in war. How will the IPU partner with United Nations and other regional bodies to ensure that the guns are silenced? These are some of the things, which if you put on the agenda, would form part of the reform proposals for the IPU. I want to encourage you, the same way President Kagame did when he was President of the African Union in 2018. He came up with a reform agenda.
