• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I may use this opportunity to inform the principals and head teachers that there are thousands of birth certificates that have already been processed and are awaiting collection from our district headquarters. In fact, there is a letter which I signed yesterday to the Minister for Education, to inform the District Education Officers (DEOs) and consequently, the heads of schools to be able to pick those certificates because we are afraid that by 30th June the registration for examination will be closed for those who will not have obtained their birth certificates. So, it ... view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: We have also now recruited all our head teachers and principals of schools as our agents for purposes of registration of births. They collect the primary data that we view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oppose the amendment for the obvious reason that Article 32 has already provided for what we are trying to include. Article 32 (1) already gives us the right to freedom of conscious, freedom of religion, thought, belief and opinion. It also includes the right to go and convert anybody, if you want. If you have been given a right to religious freedom and conscious, you can pursue it wherever you want. So that amendment that now says you can propagate your religion and that you are free to convert somebody is repetitive. It is not necessary. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to oppose because corruption is not our culture. First of all, it is a cancer we would want to get rid of. We cannot enshrine something like corruption in our Constitution as if it is some kind of beautiful thing that we aspire to even if we want to eradicate it. Let us deal with corruption the way we are view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Mbadi is my neighbour at home, but he should learn the procedure. I am introducing the Motion. I am saying that the Motion I am about to move is of personal interest to you. This may one day happen to you. view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: The section says that for you to offer yourself as an independent candidate, you must have been out of a party membership for the previous three months before you can stand. The consequence is that if you are a rebel Member of whatever party, and you quarrel with your party leader three weeks to nominations and your party leader removes you from the party, you cannot stand as an independent candidate. That is what it means. view

• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a small matter: If you heard Prof. Saitoti support the amendment to the amendment, he said something like this: “That we may get a chance to correct the mistakes that we made earlier.” This House does not make mistakes because this House went to a very conscious and laborious Division and we took a vote. Each one of us was persuaded that that was the way they wanted to vote. To suggest that we made a mistake is to abuse the intelligence of this House. In fact, it is ... view
