Josephine Naisula Lesuuda

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I rise to support this Motion because I was a member of this Committee. Under the leadership of the Hon.

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the honourable, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who has eloquently executed this Motion in order to mislead the public and this House that some of the conversation that he has had informally should be generalized to mean Jubilee in totality. Those...

Sen. Lesuuda Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge young politicians to read the history of the politics of the world. Senator, if you bothered to read the history of the world, you would know that those informal conversations are the ones which eventually become formal, to the extent that when the...

Sen. Lesuuda Madam Temporary Speaker, we have always said that the role of this House is very clear under Article 96 of the Constitution. However, the goodwill that I talked about has been lacking. That is why we have to categorically strengthen the role of the Senate. It is important...

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to reiterate there is no final decision on the route that has been made so far. There is a report pending with the Government. As I said, it will be made public. I am glad Sen. Lesuuda has confirmed that...

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker,

Sen. Lesuuda That is even better. That means that the Chairperson has to liaise with the Senate Majority Leader to get the right dates. I do not know whether the 15 signatures have been sought to have the special sitting. All in all, the Chairperson should be included in the...

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to add a rider to what Sen. Abdirahman has said. This is an issue that needs urgent attention. In two weeks’ time, we would probably go for recess and this matter needs to be addressed, in order to assure the...

Taking into consideration the March 30, 2017 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should substantiate what he has said. Is he in order to insinuate? He is saying it in reference to another Jubilee Senator, whether she is also doing the same. That is insinuating and in bad light;...

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Chairperson, Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, to state that nobody has died? It is almost belittling the issue that we are trying to address in this House and reducing the importance of...

Sen. Lesuuda Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If someone is in charge of security in a county and has intelligence information which he can use to gauge the situation, he should take the necessary action even if it is arresting people or leaders who incite others to violence. They...

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Speaker, Sir, just riding on what Sen. Madzayo has said, the procedure, normally, is that you give the exact time and then if you are not ready you can request for more time. Having said that, I think this issue is very important and needs to be...

Sen. Lesuuda Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to also request you to give us more time. Definitely we know our Whips have the duty to whip us but also many of us who have an interest in this Bill will be able to whip our colleagues so that we can...

Sen. Lesuuda On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to ask whether Sen. Ong’era is in order to continuously mislead this House. It is a narrative that is continuing to say that we rely on what we have heard out there. If we cannot rely on the...
