Lugha inakuwa kwa kuchanganya maneno kutoka lugha zingine na kujaza.Rais Kikwete huhutubia vikao vya Umoja wa Afrika kwa Lugha ya Kiswahili peke yake. Lugha rasmi za Umoja wa Afrika ni Kiingereza, Kifaransa, Kireno, Kihispania, Kiarabu na Kiswahili. Bw. Spika wa Muda, katika Hotuba yake mojawapo ya vitu ambavyo alitambua ni kwamba nchi anayoongoza ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania inazingatia Umoja wa Afrika Mashariki.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If the distinguished Senator for Garissa wants the Cabinet Secretary to come here, it would be a good idea for the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations to pull out all requested Statements relating to security and apprise Members who have requested for them and those who have had a rider on them so that we can all interrogate the Cabinet Secretary on those pending statements.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the instability of power supply, particularly in the western parts of this country from Busia, Siaya, Kakamega, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, West Pokot to Turkana is very frequent. Sometimes, we get blackouts for as long as ten hours or a whole day and these have caused a lot of havoc to businesses and home appliances and inconveniences to schools.

In his response, the distinguished Senator from Taita-Taveta said they ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the distinguished Senator for Tharaka-Nithi to purport to gag an honourable Senator, first and foremost, as a representative of Garissa County Government and its people and not as the Chairperson as a Committee? That is just an addendum to his portfolio in this House. Is it in order for the Senate Majority Leader to purport to superintend and police Members of this House in representing their constituencies and airing views that help their people?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to join the two distinguished Senators; Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Billow in lauding the conduct of Macky Sall. He is a distinguished young head of State who came to power through a very contested rapturous election, but he is leading the way. Under the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), African heads of States should learn a little bit from such shining examples. Unless and until Africa makes it painful for people who consume and perpetuate corruption, this continent will not move. When you look around the continent, we record very handsome Gross Domestic ...
