• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to say that many of us who come from ASAL areas are so much disadvantaged because of the terrain and the area. We want to thank the Government for giving us free education. However, as I have said, we should be able to make everything about education free including the examinations that our children do. We thank the Government for providing electricity. We have electricity in most of the schools. Apart from the infrastructure which the Government must insist that we have in our schools, we are moving on well. With those few remarks, I thank you for ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in supporting the President. For the first time, of all the Presidents that have been in this country, he gave a wonderful Speech. He was bold enough to tackle issues that pertain to this country.

We should be able to tackle corruption from the top. I want to congratulate the President for being bold enough to face corruption squarely. However, as I have said, we need to put people in jail so that we know that this Government is serious about corruption.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Chairlady. I support this amendment because people with disabilities have suffered for a long time.

• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support the views of the Committee. As my colleagues have said, it is important for us to understand and underline the importance of decentralisation. It is the devolution that all of us fought for that we are trying to support and emulate in this country. It is important that communities are given the opportunity to decide--- view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to concur with my colleagues in supporting this very important amendment. Confusion is everywhere because you meet everybody saying “ Mheshimiwa, Mheshimiwa” and you do not know who is Mheshimiwa . It is important that this Bill has come at the right time. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: I am not really against that but you know it is everywhere such that you do not understand who is Mheshimiwa and who is not. It is important that this Bill is passed today. view
