• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Article 94 of the Constitution is very clear that there is no person who can enact any legislation which has the force of law except this House. As you know, when we discussed the Report last time, we agreed that the amendments could be brought, but subject to the agreement of the two leaders. However, this is a Committee of the House. When a Bill is referred to a Committee, the Committee has powers to propose amendments. I have spoken to the Leader of the Majority Party. We have pleaded with him. We discussed this matter in ... view

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for Hon. Simba Arati, as a Member of Parliament, but not in his individual capacity. I have stopped engaging in quarrels in life because I have discovered that you do not go far. I believe in decency and integrity of people. However, he appears to be lacking those attributes, which he knows is obvious to everybody. I do not want to waste time with somebody who knows that what he says is not taken seriously beyond where he comes from. I rest my case. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Leader of the Majority Party. This is a very happy occasion because we can all agree.

The House felt that we must pass this Bill in the first instance, and ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a happy occasion because for the first time, we are inculcating party discipline through this Bill. We are rewarding loyalists and punishing detractors of party unity. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: There are those who come and tell us, like Hon Ng‘eno – and it in the HANSARD - that he used to walk around with six certificates. If someone refused to give him one, he would produce another one from the left side. He said so. This will be put to an end. For the first time, we are putting an end to dishonest to party loyalty. If you want to join party A, you would rather join it. You have the freedom. In fact, Article 38 of the Constitution is very clear. You do not have to borrow anybody‘s ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: For the first time, we are going to introduce, at least, two strong parties in this country. We will, of course, have the third force for the member who is not here. You know him. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I am not saying it a bad way. It is just that they have christened themselves a third force. We will only have two parties or horses. It will be in the fashion of the US and the Britain. One thing the 11th Parliament will be known for is developing democracy by ensuring we have two strong parties like we have in the US and in the UK, including even Brazil where, the other day, the President was stripped of powers and brought to an end one strong party, the Socialist party, that was led by the former President Lula. view
