Sen. Karaba On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Karaba Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important for Dr. Machage to note that for you to start any project, there must be a pilot scheme. This is one of the pilot schemes which are there. So, eventually, the whole country will be covered. Let him be informed about that.

Sen. Karaba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me the chance to contribute towards the support of our friend and colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior, to succeed Sen. Nyongesa as a member. Much as we support that move---

Kuna Rais mmoja wa zamani wa Tanzania, Rais Nyerere, aliyesema kwamba hakuna demokrasia itakayopatikana kama hatuna vyama vinavyojitegemea. Sio mimi Boy niliyesema hivyo bali ni Mwalimu Julius Kabarage Nyerere. Hakuna vyama vya kidemokrasia vitakavyokamilika kama havijitawali kifedha.

Waliopanga sheria hii walijua wazi ungefika wakati ambapo vyama vingehitaji hela. Kinachonishangaza ni kwamba ni lazima uambiwe kwamba leo ni Jumatatu bali unajua kwamba leo ni Jumatatu? Hayo ni...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you might have heard what Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo has said about Tana River. He has said the Government has not invested in Tana River to prevent floods downstream. Is he in order to mislead the House while he knows too well that Masinga Dam...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that the Professor is misleading us that that the Government has not done anything on Tana River, while he knows too well that the reservoir, Masinga Dam, is on Tana River.
