• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: One thing that has struck me is his immense humility, particularly when he went to church and collected the offering. That is a tag of humility which is very clearly quoted in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: the Bible, and I believe also in the Quran that when you humble yourself before God, greater things happen in your life. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We regret that we have lost him at this very potential and critical moment. He was a teamplayer both at the Tanzanian level as Head of State, within the EAC and also in the international arena. He was one person who exhibited what leadership must be all about. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Let us not blame each other here. Each country has its own developmental milestones. There may be pitfalls here and there, but I believe we can overcome by looking at the experiences of other countries, particularly the way we treat one another in our leadership. It is very important that we become true friends. Friendship is something one cannot acquire, but is developed. Once we develop it, and eventually acquire it, it becomes part of us. The greatest legacy that President Dr. Magufuli has left for the people of Tanzania and for us within the EAC is that he developed ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We are beginning to see the results and we take this earliest opportunity to congratulate Her Excellency Madam Suluhu for taking over the reins of Tanzania. Looking and listening to her speech, she is equal to the task. She is a very good leader for the Tanzanian people and she will fit in within the EAC. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: We want to cherish the friendship between the Late President Dr. Magufuli with the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Raila and also our President Uhuru Kenyatta. That was typified when he paid a State visit here. We could see the brotherly spirit that permeated through their intercourse during the period they were debating and talking about areas of common interest and how they had been relating. That is a big example for all of us who are in leadership positions. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: On behalf of Kisii County, who are almost the immediate neighbours to northern Tanzania, we will miss his style of leadership. We encourage the Tanzanians to continue be a part of the EAC and play the teamwork that we all so much desire to lift up this region to another level. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Wildlife conservation is one of the most important elements in our society, since it is the generator of resources. Not only as the generator of resources, but it also has a ripple effect. The tourists who come to visit the area will spend money on various items. Therefore, the local communities will have access to resources as a result of the tourists that come around. view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things that the relevant committee should be looking at through the Statement by Sen. Khaniri should be what is the criteria and specification of the registration of private conservancy? Is there a standard that has been set up so that every one of them will be checked against that standard? If they go against that standard, then, obviously, that would attract some sanctions or punitive measures that would be at place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to know during the registration of private conservancy whether was there a check list on the quotations and ... view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: required to be attained and maintained, so that we can say this was an accident or it was something which was deliberately done and therefore will attract sanctions. Secondly, I want to know that the Kenya Power staff go to the conservancy obviously that is a dangerous zone. Therefore, we require some security elements and carry them along. Were the power line people and the owners of the conservancy not able to have a site meeting to appreciate the height of some of these animals? Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes even the communities around there, in the event that they are ... view
