• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe the HANSARD will bear me out on this one. You have accepted that we transacted business after 6.30 p.m. without anyone asking for extension of time. Whether it is just one second after 6.30 p.m., the time and operational word is 6.30 p.m., and, therefore, your acceptance renders the business we have just concluded null and void. I beg your indulgence to use all your jurisprudence and capability to declare the just concluded business null and void. view

Since the design of the said road has not changed, I ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while averring to your decision, this road touches on almost ten constituencies. However, the southern part of Tanzania imports goods through the Port of Mombasa through Lungalunga and Taveta; the central part imports goods through Namanga and the upper part imports goods through Isebania and Migori.
