• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the same note, the land issue is very sentimental to me. However, given the mood of the House since yesterday, I wish to withdraw my amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to oppose this amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: We are not in an island in this country or a vacuum. We relate to each other and the outside world. We are signatories to many international conventions in the world. We have an obligation as a country to implement those international conventions. Those obligations tell us that we must empower our women. The people who forget their women are a lost society. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for us to develop this country, we cannot leave the majority who are in this country not empowered.

• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Nakushukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Hakika, Katiba hii imechangiwa na watu wengi sana na hivi sasa, imefikia wakati wa kuchangiwa na Wabunge. Nawaomba wananchi wawapatie nafasi Wabunge wachangie Katiba hii na watoe maoni yao. Marekebisho ya Katiba ni lazima, na hakuna pahali pengine marekebisho haya yatafanyika isipokuwa katika Bunge hili.

• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. I would like to start by the peace prayers that were conducted on 28th February, 2010 to mark the two years since the National Accord was signed. Prayers are not enough for this country. The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are still suffering in the camps. I expected the Government, apart from conducting the prayers, to come up with a strategy on how to resettle the IDPs. Unfortunately, nothing came up. On the Constitution, the President said that it is high time we gave this country a new Constitution and all ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even when we talk about the Lamu Port, roads in Lamu have not had even a kilometre of tarmac since Independence. I wonder how that port is going to be effective without, first, taking care of the infrastructure by tarmacking the roads in Lamu, providing electricity and water which are essential commodities for W ananchi . view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Talking of the disasters, we all know that there was a fire disaster in Faza. The most unfortunate thing is that the contractors who repaired the houses have not been paid view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: up to date. They have repaired about 60 houses. They have undertaken the construction and everything else, but the National Disaster Committee (NDC) is sitting on the money that the Government, under the leadership of the President himself, took the initiative to raise. It is very unfortunate to note that, that money has not, up to now, served the purpose for which it was raised. view
