• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know that we have a multiplicity of organisations and agencies who are involved in youth programmes and purporting to be supporting the welfare of the youth in uncoordinated manner, the result of which is no tangible change in the welfare of the youth despite having those multiplicity of organisations and agencies. What the National Youth Council provides is actually a democratic agency driven by the youth. So, it presents an opportunity for the youth to actually drive their own agenda for their own wellbeing and it is the first of its kind in this country. ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion very passionately and wish to congratulate Mheshimiwa Zuleikha for bringing this very important Motion to the Floor of this House. I am also glad to say that the Mover of this Motion has actually placed a very important task on the table of my Committee. I chair the Committee on Implementation and I can assure you that this is going to be an issue of priority that we are going to take up. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this Motion, I wish to say that matters of the youth are no longer just aspirations. They are no longer just wishes.

So, you find that 90 per cent of that 70 per cent of youth who are unemployed actually have some form of education but which is not sufficient to make them marketable or to make them get jobs that they can support themselves with in the job market of this country. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The other category of youth that actually need special attention are the pastoralists. We know that majority of the youth of this country are not educated and it is because of lack of an opportunity to get sufficient education to be able to get a formal job. This is a category of youth and I can speak authoritatively for the county I come view
• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: (Hon (Ms.) Tuya): Hon. Deputy Speaker, I feel like we need to identify ourselves as the 47 members from counties; I always feel awkward because of having to add the word “woman” to my introduction; I am obviously a woman. Again, I think the 47 of us are the only Members of this House who represent a whole county. I think we can easily say we are County Members of the National Assembly. view
