* Mr. Speaker, coming from Uganda, the last time the East African Legislative Assembly held their meeting in Uganda, the people of Uganda were very happy.
* They saw the Community coming nearer to them, and I hope that will also happen with the people of Zanzibar. I have always heard about Zanzibar from hon. Sebtuu, from brother Bilal and hon. Mwinyi, but today I am happy that I am speaking from the country itself. That, in a nutshell, will help us to deliberate from a position of information about what this country and the people actually are like, so that when we are talking we do not only look at Zanzibar as a country that suffered from the effects of slave trade, but as a country with much more than we thought before.
* Mr. Speaker, I would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the two doctors for having been sworn in. It seems today was a day for doctors. Actually, I had been wondering when our Secretary-General would be sworn in. May be it was deliberate because he was waiting to be sworn-in from this island of peace loving people. And from the tone of his speech, I could see a man
* who is a team builder; I could see a man who is results-oriented, and most importantly, I see somebody who is gender sensitive – (Interruption) – When I talk about gender sensitivity, I mean both the men and the women – (Prolonged Laughter).
* As women in this Assembly we are expecting to see the aspirations of the woman of East Africa being fulfilled during his tenure: The women entrepreneurs, women in the agricultural sector, those in tourism - I am expecting many conferences, particularly targeting East African women under the leadership of Dr. Mwapachu. So, honourable Doctors, we are ready, as Members of the East African Legislative Assembly, to work with you. I am also glad about the cordial relationship that exists between our Speaker and the Secretary-General so far. I think we are all going to follow suit – (Applause).
* Mr. Speaker, I would like to make a brief comment on hon. Mwinyi’s report. I thank him and the Committee on Legal Rules and Privileges for a job well done. I was a bit worried when he said that we shall need half the House in order to realize quorum. When I tried to divide 45 divide by two, I got 22.5 and I was like...what happens? Do we round off people to say 23? And I wanted to oppose that bit; however, when you say one-third, then that again makes the number too small. So, on that note, I want to support hon. Mwinyi’s Committee’s proposals as is, and look forward to the Committee coming with more proposals on new Committees in the East African Legislative Assembly. I want to see an Assembly with Committees touching on HIV/AIDS specifically and other issues.
* With those remarks, I beg to support the motion, and I hope to come back to Zanzibar and especially to speak Kiswahili properly
