If the information you have been given that the Bill is among the 34 Bill that have been republished, if it has been tabled in the ‘Lower’ House, it is a continuation in the violation of Article 110 (3). This is because if it had come for concurrence, our Speaker would have the facts readily available that it was brought for concurrence and the Speakers of the two Houses concurred. More importantly, the Senator for Embu County, a man known for extreme ... view

• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Some of us had the privilege of knowing the late President Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli at a personal level. We have worked with him within the context of the East African Community and we can bear testimony of a man of great intellect, talent and with great commitment to bettering humanity. The late Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli walked through the ranks of politics to become the least expected successor to former President, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, when he was retiring. In fact, when Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) congregated in Dodoma to nominate a successor candidate to President Jakaya Mrisho ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Those who were frontrunners such as my friend Bernard Membe, Asha- Rose Migiro, January Makamba and others fell behind Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli for him to become the choice of CCM and therefore successor to President Kikwete. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: When he came into office, sceptics did not quite see that he was going to be what he turned out to be, although he had already established himself a good reputation as what Tanzanians commonly called mchapa kazi, because everything he did was with great commitment and distinction. He is known in Tanzania for having run the Ministry of Roads to a level where nobody else had ever done, making Tanzania pave roads at most cost effective levels. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We have seen on Television the number of people who turned up to pay their respects. We must remember that the late Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, is the second president in the East African region to die in office after our founding president Jomo Kenyatta. His death is like no other in terms of comparison with other leaders of that level. Our president Moi died more than 10 years after leaving office, the same for Mzee Mkapa and Dr. Nyerere. President Dr. Magufuli died at the height of his popularity among Tanzanians. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: In November last year, the late Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli went through an election where he got overwhelming support with a landslide victory in a general election. Many issues have been said about that election but we know that he was sworn in and was ploughing through his second term. Although it is always a CCM affair, the late Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli will be remembered for being very fair to women. He picked H.E Suluhu as the Vice-President and she has now taken the reins of Tanzania. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We have great lessons to learn from Tanzania. In fact, when President Dr. Magufuli came to Kenya he said Kenya was one of the best countries in this region except for one thing - tribalism. He told Kenyans, “I may offend you but I want to tell you this. Shidayenu ni moja tu- ukabila .” We have lessons to learn from Tanzania. view
