• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Precisely. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I was just concluding. I sympathise with Hon. Kioni, the Chair of the Committee. He is struggling to legislate for an uninterested group of people. We have 349 Members of Parliament. We have a large number of them who purport to be youth. We have a large number of them who are women and yet if you look around, you can only just see a droplet of those special groups. I hope we are not wasting legislative time, but truly doing something. I hope they will get a bit of interest. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my senior colleague is not factual, specifically on the issue of edible oils. I do not purport to speak for KEBS but I sit in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives --- view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He is not being factual. He is misleading the House. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was waiting because I was detailed by my Chair for the Departmental Committee on Industry, Trade and Cooperatives to make a comment in respect of one particular clause, Clause 27 so to speak. I will make other comments after I have made a presentation on the matter. There is an amendment to Business Registration Act (No. 5 of 2015) and this amendment has been necessitated by the reassignment of the function of ease of doing business from the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development to the Ministry of East African Community for purposes of coordination. Consequently, the import of the amendment is to include the party or the department responsible for ease of doing business to sit on the Business Registration Services Board. That is essentially why they propose to delete reference to the CS in charge of Trade and replace it with CS in charge of business reforms and transformation. That is why there is that particular change. We received public comments, fortunately or unfortunately, from only the State Department for Trade and the Office of ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: National Building Code, which was never concluded because of one thing or another. It is the best way to go. But geographically, a sparse country like ours, with different housing expectations and housing definitions, it will be practically impossible to have one overriding building code that will uniformly cover the peculiar housing requirements of the people of north eastern and the people of Funyula Constituency. Some of the times we make very good proposals, but we need to subject them to reality checks to confirm that we know the correct position. So, it will be important that at a particular ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Motion on the Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: It is important for us to appreciate, from the word go, that Uwezo Fund and the Women Enterprise Fund were noble ideas to support the vulnerable groups, those who cannot qualify to get funding from the mainstream banks, to start, expand and sustain businesses. It is important from the word go for us to also appreciate that the uptake of these funds has reported success and failure in various parts of the country. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when most of us took over the management of constituencies in 2017, it became apparent that we had very many challenges. The Fund was rolled out in the first term and it appeared as if it was a political gift to various members of the community. The recovery rate was so poor that it was practically impossible to motivate the youth, women and PWDs. I will comment on the Uwezo Fund in Funyula Constituency. First of all, I must comment that since we took over, we have managed to give funds to more than 25 groups some being ... view
