• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not conceded to the inadequacy of my answer. I have only conceded to the fact that more questions, more than the six questions that were hitherto asked by Sen. Wetangula which I think are important to be answered to the House, have been asked. Unless I do not understand Sen. Wetangula well because I am not a lawyer, you only ask a question when you do not understand. That is why he asked the questions because he did not know the answer and I supplied the answer. It all means he did not understand. view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For Sen. Leshore, I cannot have been more serious with my arm today except for a different hairstyle.

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Bw. Spika, nawapa motisha kwamba kesho waje hapa. Nawahimiza kwamba wanaposoma, wajue kwamba wana nafasi iliyo kamili na iliyowekwa wazi kama wenzao wengi. Wanahitaji tu kuwa miaka kumi na nane kufika hapa. Wasije wakatishwa na kuogopa. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to ride on the first part of the question. Could the Chairperson tell us how many technical schools have so far been built and in which constituencies? Why are other constituencies having the technical schools? How much money has been used for so far? view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries be bold enough and tell this country that no research has been done on the soils of this country in terms of acceptability of certain fertilizer? If there is any research that has been done, let him give us the website address where we can refer to different soil structures and the recommended fertilizers. view

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I usually appreciate the Senate Minority Leader’s speeches because they have information and they stimulate thinking. This happens when he especially enlightens us that the contracts going on now are full of kickbacks and bribes from Chinese contractors. I would be more enlightened if he can go further and give us more information on these kickbacks and bribes. I need substantiation. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I congratulate Sen. Wetangula for withdrawing and apologizing, albeit after a long coercion. That was “statesmanly”. At the same time, I remind the Minority Leader to look at Standing Order No.105 and 110 (1)(i) very closely. The Minority Leader is one of the greatest leaders we have had in this country in terms of material and articulation of debate in this House.

• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this could be a point of omission or forgetfulness. We will need correction because this is a House of records. Was Sen. Wetangula in order to say that he appointed Sen. Kembi-Gitura as an ambassador? These records must be corrected. I believe Sen. Wetangula might have had a slip of the tongue. The only person who has that authority is the President of this country. He may correct that so that the records are clear. view
