• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On the numerous supplementary budgets that are brought to this House, economic planning is something that is very important for any progressive country. For sure, the budget is one tool of planning and projection as to how much you want to spend based on the kind of projects that we have. When we have supplementary budgets that are varying from the original budget to the tune of more than 10 per cent, it means something is very wrong in our planning mechanism. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: With the appointment of the new Controller of Budget, she should take up her office positively and do what she has to do so that we can get ourselves out of the quagmire that we are in. Since we came into this House, several supplementary budgets have been passed, which are not reflective of the budget that was passed. That is so telling on the type of managers we have entrusted with our money. Now that my colleagues are on my case, I wish to stop at that and thank you for giving me this opportunity. I thank the PAC ... view

• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak on this matter that has been brought to us by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. From the outset, I congratulate the Committee because of late, they seem to be on overdrive in terms of making sure that regulations that have been passed are in tandem with the changing world and are constitutional.

Nevertheless, I want to support this Report based on the fact that the Powers and Privileges Committee sat and did what it was supposed to do. It gave us findings and listened to all the witnesses. Indeed, there was admission by one Hon. Fatuma Gedi that she got that letter from a Parliamentary staff. That is enough reason to invoke Section 17 of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act. This Committee is even mild. I can see from the Act other remedies that should have been ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Bill with amendments. The drafter of this Bill talks about marginalised communities. The Constitution is so clear in Article 204 about marginalised areas view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the annulment of the said regulations on the grounds that have been well moved by the Mover. As much as I would have mentioned a few things that have been said, I believe that Hon. Shamalla will not be in position to say that I am repetitive.
