• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be amended in subclause (4) by deleting the words “and, if the respondent fails to appear, the court shall, subject to section 23 (3), issue a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: warrant for the arrest of the respondent” appearing immediately after the words “to the order”; The reason behind this is that if you look at sub-clause 23(3) it reads thus: “A respondent arrested under a Subsection (2) shall be held in custody and brought before a court as soon as possible and in any event, not less than twenty four hours after the arrest on a charge of contravening section 25.” That is clearer than what is contained in Clause 14. It makes it very specific that the person who has been arrested must be brought to court within 24 ... view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I totally agree with hon. Gumbo, Eng. Mohamud and hon. Jakoyo Midiwo except that he claims that hon. Mutava was preaching. I have tremendous respect for hon. Mutava. When I listened to him, he never mentioned any verse. I belong to the same fellowship as hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. He needs to differentiate between preaching and advancing or canvassing an argument. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I do not want to repeat what others have said. It is unfair to be lectured here and to be told that this BPS is a Bill. It is in simple English and everybody knows it, including hon. Kaluma. He knows what a Bill is and what a Motion is. We should not mislead the House. If the Constitution intended this to mean Budget Policy Statement, then it should have stated so very clearly. There is nothing hidden in terms of interpretation of the Constitution. Therefore, it can be amended because this is purely a Motion. Secondly, we have been ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: If that is the intention, then, we should be told the importance of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I would like to remind Members that under Article 95 of the Constitution, I was not elected to go to Committees; rather I was elected to represent people in their problems. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs makes recommendations just as others do. Therefore, we should not be told that there is a special Committee which makes decisions on behalf of this House. It cannot be true and it will be unconstitutional to advance that argument. It is also unfair ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to read this for clarity, lest the things that I have--- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I have a lot of respect for hon. Mbadi. He speaks very well it is just that he is misled. Article 73(2)(b) of the Constitution is very clear. It states as follows:- “The guiding principles of leadership and integrity---” We have a lot of serious integrity problems and people are trying to re-introduce those integrity issues which we are dealing with even through the Budget and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Appropriations Committee. I have said I have a lot of respect for the Chairman. He is acting in the best interest of this nation except that we have some people who have decided to capture--- I come from a background of regulation. Some Members must not capture the Chairperson. The Chairperson must be allowed to exercise--- Hon. Speaker, I know as of --- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I conclude, the Constitution states clearly in Article 173(2)(b) that: “ Objectivity and impartiality in decision making, and in ensuring that decisions are not influenced by nepotism, favouritism, other improper motives and corrupt practices” If you confer a benefit to your own constituency, you are engaged in corrupt practices. You are acting impartially and not objectively. The problem is that we do not want to disclose what some Members have been telling us in confidence. We would like to leave that because we are assuming they just did not think correctly. view
