• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to stand and contribute to this very important Constitutional Amendment Bill No.2 of 2015. At the outset, I want to support this constitutional amendment Bill and thank Hon. Peter Kaluma for having put a lot of effort and coming up with this good Bill.

• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: insulating the County Assemblies which as per now are not insulated against any court process. If the County Assemblies are debating a matter before them as per today, somebody can rush to court to stop them and they will not be able to transact business?

With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Wandayi is claiming that he has no evidence as to what agreement was written. Being a Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, is he in order to engage us about a hearsay agreement? Can he produce evidence of any agreement, so that he can substantiate his claim? As far as we are concerned, we are not aware of any agreement. view
