• 4 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have nothing against my brother, Sen. Ali Roba. I know you are not here to decide on the issues of parties. However, I would like to suggest that the issue of party can only be clarified by the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP); it is only fair for ORPP to give us the clarification. Alternatively, the Speaker can seek clarification from ORPP, so that we put this issue to rest. Otherwise, we will argue here until the cattle come from grazing. It is important to seek clarification from ORPP on who ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. I first want to thank Hon. Mwaura for bringing this Motion. About 70 per cent of this country’s population is made up of the youth. Unless the Government does something for the youth, it will not be very healthy. The youth will be idle. Our youths are very idle. Most of them are very educated and yet, they have no jobs. That is why some youths have turned to radicalisation, drugs and many other menaces in this country, which have contributed to many ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am just concerned whether you do not see me because of my bui bui or what! view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I congratulate you on your new position. I can see you are doing very well although, sometimes, you do not see buibuis . I do not blame you. I take this opportunity to thank Hon. Mwadime for bringing this Motion, which is long overdue. view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Some schools have suffered a lot due to lack of water. I am a good example of a pupil who went to school carrying a bottle of water every day because of lack of water in the school. It is a big problem and, more so, at the grassroots. There is no water in many schools. Some schools even lack sanitation facilities due to lack of water. It is unfortunate that we teach our children to be hygienic and yet, we do not have water in our schools. It is not possible for them ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to first of all thank Hon. Wamunyinyi for bringing this Bill. Sugar is a very essential commodity which you cannot afford to do without in any household. Removing tax on sugar will be doing a favour to everybody hoping that it will not only benefit the farmers but consumers of sugar. In this country, it is unfortunate that we have not been able to properly feed our people. Most areas in this country are languishing in poverty and we need to come up with a programme ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Asante Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipatia nafasi hii kuchangia Mswada huu muhimu kuhusu swala la ardhi. Swala la ardhi ni nyeti sana. Ningetaka nichukue nafasi hii kuipongeza Kamati ya Ardhi kwa kazi nzuri waliyoifanya kuleta Mswada huu kuona kwamba tutasonga mbele kutokana na mashaka ya ardhi tuliyo nayo. Ardhi ni swala nyeti sana na lina changamoto nyingi sana. Hivi sasa, kuna sehemu nyingi hususan upande wa Pwani ambako kumekumbwa na dhuluma nyingi sana za mashamba ambazo tunaamini huu Mswada ndio utaleta suluhisho kwa shida kama hizo. Kuna umuhimu Mswada huu, uangaliwe kwa makini na upigwe msasa zile sehemu ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Mapendekezo ya wananchi ni kwamba ugawaji wa ardhi utoke mashinani kwenda juu na si kutoka juu kwenda chini kama ilivyokuwa zamani. Vile Mswada huu unavyoelekea, unaturegesha nyuma kule tulipotoka. Mswada huu unataka kupokonya nguvu NLC na kuzipatia kwa Wizara ya Ardhi ambayo ilikuwa na majukumu haya na dhambi nyingi zilitokea kulingana na haya majukumu ambayo walikuwa nayo wakati huo. Hatutaki tena kuona zile dhambi zikiendelea. Tunataka kuumaliza ule msururu wa dhambi. Tunataka kuona kila mmoja amepata haki yake ya kikatiba na kila mmoja amepata usawa kama wengine. Hatutaki kuona dhuluma wala mambo ya misururu ya kunyanyasana ikiendelea kwa upande wa ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. This Motion is very timely for the Coast region. As you are aware, there are so many upcoming projects which are harmful to human beings and animals. Lamu for instance, is a heritage site, which depends on fishing and tourism. First, I want to congratulate the Chair of this Committee for bringing this Motion. It is my hope that the Government will implement this Motion and not do things contrary to what the law says. In Lamu, we depend on fishing and tourism. We have ... view
