• 13 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Like my colleagues who have contributed to this Motion, I stand to support. I support it for three reasons; one, somewhere in the Constitution, it is said that, that thing which is called the Provincial Administration shall be restructured. The wording here is “shall be restructured”. There is no option about it. But restructuring the Provincial Administration does not simply mean just taking Provincial Commissioners (PCs) from the provinces and bringing them to the President’s Office. That is not restructuring. Restructuring means that the very rules of the game that establish certain offices must be ... view
• 13 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. As hon. Wako was speaking, I remembered something very important about this Motion; about the political culture of changing names and so on. After the change of Government in Uganda in 1986 and the coming in of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), all local authorities were called resistance councils. They were referred to RC1, RC2 and this went up to the top. In fact, they did away with the previous way of naming the local organizations. So, they became part and parcel of this political culture of the NRM which was resisting the ... view
• 2 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in congratulating Mzee Machage for introducing this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to go further and ask the Government not just to declare this drug issue a national disaster, but to take very drastic actions to stop the problem of drug abuse and illicit brews in this country. But we must also look at the supply side, not just the demand side. How did this drug menace get into this country? Where does heroine and the other drugs come from? Where do they really come from? They ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given the importance of the ruling you have given, would I be in order to ask your office to get space in the newspapers and publish the ruling? view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having stood on a point of order, I will make this very brief and to the point. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I join my colleagues in congratulating you and thanking the spirit of Marende in you. This continues the Marende tradition of respecting the law, being erudite and always seeking to enlighten legislators on what the Constitution and Standing Orders are; and what needs to be done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I have come here just to appeal to my fellow Senators is because we are likely to face such bumps in the future. My appeal ... view
• 23 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was going to make a suggestion in line with what you have said. When the Division Bell is rung, you should give instructions to the Clerks-at-the-Table to check in the Speaker’s office whether there is any vote consigned to a particular person or a Delegation. To make it better, that announcement should be made just before the Division Bell is rung so that we are aware. view
• 22 May 2013 in Senate: I rise to support this Motion and to congratulate Sen. Zani for bringing it to this House. As my colleague Boy Juma Boy has said very eloquently, our responsibility in the Constitution is to look after the affairs of the counties. There is nothing better in looking after the counties and ensuring that the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to contribute to this discussion on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2013. First I must say that I am very happy that Jubilee has fully been converted to devolution and has new prophets of devolution. The epistles are quite convincing. Secondly, I want to say that this Division of Revenue Bill, we will definitely see its effect much more appropriately when the Appropriation Bill hits us. When the Appropriation Bill comes we will see how these figures are translated into shillings and cents with respect to specific expenditures both at ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion for Adjournment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make one very simple fact or point. As we know, floods in this country are controllable, because we know their source, cause and where they occur. If you look at Budalangi and Kano, we know that everytime there are rains and both River Nzoia and River Nyando overflow their banks, therefore, there will obviously be floods. We know that the people living in those areas will move when the floods come and come back when it is dry. That pattern has ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion that was moved by my good friend, Sen. Musila. I also appreciate the contributions made by my colleagues. Madam Temporary Speaker, before I move on, I would like to propose an amendment, which I will read. I have already given it to the Clerk’s Office and I am sure that it is being printed. The amendment is simply that everywhere you find the word The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
