• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I know this Motion is of great interest to most Members. As I conclude, I request that we deliberate on the issues within the few minutes possible so that many Members can contribute. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: As I wind up, I wish to say that we need to look at this issue holistically and possibly see where the National Authority for the Campaign against Drug Abuse (NACADA) has failed this country and see whether we need them or not. What could be the issue with the chiefs? Could they be paid very little such that they engage in this corruption? Could they be facing other security challenges? We need to look at this issue holistically. At the moment, this brew has no integrity or professionalism. So, there was no any other better way to tackle this ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just wondering what “catches the Speakers’ eyes”. Does the card qualify? view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and I have quite some information on this Bill which, at the outset, I support. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: At the outset, I want to support this Bill. As a member of the Security Committee, I realise that Members are contributing on very critical issues that we may have left out. Possibly, we may need to consider them at the Third Stage because the Bill seems to concentrate so much on the firms, while leaving the guards behind. Considering the matters of security in this country, I want to plead with Members that, as we discuss, we go and read this Bill time and again. We need to come out of the cocoon where we want to sympathise with ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I also realize that we have not captured the level of education. Time and again, we have got ourselves in problems. Let us not forget the case of the former Deputy Chief Justice, Madam Baraza, who had an issue with a guard somewhere. Some of those guards are Standard III drop- outs or even below. Considering the free primary education today in our country, possibly, we can make it mandatory for one to attain the level of Form IV certification. We need to consider the level of education such that if those people are very well trained, they can understand ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report. The Committee Chairlady touched on several issues as she moved the Motion. As my colleagues have said, we have passed many Bills that have since been assented to by the President, but the implementation of some of them has not kicked off. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we all remember the first year of the Jubilee Government. It waived maternity fees. If you have been reading newspapers, you must know that previously, many women were forced to peel potatoes in hospital kitchens after giving birth because they could not ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: want to see action. In some cases, it is like a Bill is passed and signed into law and then people sit back in the office, wait until the following year and the money is returned to the Treasury. So, please, follow it up. You are doing a good job. I was not there last time, but I have listened to the Members of Parliament who were there in the Tenth Parliament. I think you are doing a good job. I congratulate you. Thank you. view
