Kassim Sawa Tandaza

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa hii fursa. Kwanza, tutambue kwamba katika Katiba yetu ya 2010, katika uteuzi wowote ambao unafanyika katika Tume, ni lazima kuwe na wakilishi wa kimaeneo. Kwa muda mrefu, Eneo letu la Pwani limeachwa nyuma katika uteuzi kama huu. Kwa...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will start by saying that I am ‘half happy’ given that they are working with vulnerable people in Matuga. The Cabinet Secretary has said that before we go for recess, he will have completed that process. I am ‘half happy’...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Health the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary–

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga ANC) Ahsante Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda kwa kunipatia fursa hii. Niruhusu kwanza nianze na aya ya Kuran tukufu surah Alimran aya ya 185 inayosema: “Kulu nafsi zaika kul maut.” Kwamba kila nafsi iliyoko hai itaionja mauti. Tukiwa hapa sisi sote tutaionja mauti. Na wale ambao...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this deletion. While discussing this tribunal, I realised that a privatisation process is not something that we encounter every day. If we were to establish a standing tribunal, it would likely continue to withdraw allowances even when there...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Just as Honourable Oundo has said, this issue of national security interests can be misused. And as we move on, it would be more specified and accurate on what constitutes national security interests. (Question, that the words to be inserted 8th...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very important amendment considering item (e) which talks of the risk of foreign dominance or monopolistic control. We know very well at this point and time, unless we are safeguarded, most Kenyans might not have the disposable...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. On the issue of the valuation, I would be quite categorical. In most cases, land is under-valued when it comes to the issue of valuation of those enterprises. It is my hope that this time as we do privatisation, land...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Now that the Cabinet Secretary has alluded to the fact that there exist ghost schools and students, can he also provide a list? He has said that they have uncovered this and the process is ongoing. Can he give a...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If we, as Members of the National Assembly, see these children, including yourself, where does the Cabinet Secretary live that he needs evidence from us? I believe that as he moves around, he surely sees these children.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Okay. Thank you. Mine will be very short and it is the manner in which the amount is split. Give Ksh36 to the school per student while the Ministry retains Ksh40 per student. As a mathematician, the Ministry literally remains with over Ksh50 million out...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. While the Cabinet Secretary has provided a very comprehensive reply, we do not have a copy of it. How will we interrogate the figures without access to the document he has just read? He mentioned an annexure that we do...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) It would have been better if the documents on this matter had been tabled as we discussed it. Otherwise, it will simply be overtaken by events. My concern is specific to popular courses, particularly the nursing course. It is on record that admissions are primarily...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Now that the Cabinet Secretary has admitted that we have funding gaps not only in this financial year, but also in previous years, we should remove the word “free”. When the Cabinet Secretary says education is free, yet he knows...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Ahsante Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Jana tulikaa hapa mpaka tukafunga kikao nikisubiri kutoa mchango wangu kwenye Hoja hii. Nianze kwa kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati kwa Mwenyekiti na Kamati yake. Kwamba, waliweza kukaa na kukagua hesabu hizi, ni kifahamisho kuwa, Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ni gwiji...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Sio kuliko wengine wote. Kutoka sehemu ya Mombasa haimaanishi kuwa wewe ni gwiji wa Kiswahili; manake ni somo ambalo watu wanafanya. Ukiangalia katika mitihani, wanaofanya bora mara nyingi sio Wapwani. Ni wale wa bara. Hili ni somo kama lingine.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Ni ‘hoja la nidhamu’ au ‘hoja ya nidhamu’?

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to make a Statement on behalf of the National Assembly Select Committee on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) regarding the status of the Fund for the Financial Year 2025/2026. On allocation to the Fund and budget...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) On a point of order.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Yes, it was clear, but I want react to what Hon. Kangogo has just said. Section 39 (2) is very clear on disbursement of funds. Unfortunately, it does not specify what should happen if the National Treasury fails to comply. As legislators, 8th October 2025...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa hii fursa. Kwanza, ninawapatia pongezi walio leta hii Petition kwa sababu dini ni muhimu na sote tunajua kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu yupo. Hata hivyo, endapo dini itatumika vibaya kama inavyo tumika hivi sasa, viwango vya watu kupatiwa mafunzo ambayo...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Kwanza ni kutoa shukrani kwa Mhe. Tim Wanyonyi, gavana mtarajiwa, kwa kuleta Mswada huu muhimu. Nitakuwa mfupi, hasa kwa hili swala linalohusu ardhi kuchukuliwa, na watu na hawawezi kulipwa wakati lishabadilishwa. Nikiwa hapa, najua kwamba kuna ile barabara ya Dongo...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) I used to be a student there. Once a student, always a student.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome my fellow students from Alliance High School.

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) I also take this opportunity to welcome Starehe Boys Centre, where I got an admission for Forms 5 and 6. I opted to go to Alliance High School for Maths, Physics and Chemistry instead of Starehe that had offered me Maths, Economics and Geography. Voluntary...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Is Hon. Kaguchia in order to refer to Hon. Baya as “Mbaya”? “Mbaya” means bad yet we know that Hon. Baya is not bad at all. Is he in order to refer to him as “Mbaya”, which means bad?

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Asante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa kupata fursa hii. Kwanza, naanza kwa kukubali kwamba hii ndio itakua dawa ya kusuluhisha matatizo ya hospitali za umma. Kuna msemo unaosema: “Kiatu usichokivaa, huwezi kijua kinakufinya wapi. Kitanda usichokilalia hauwezi jua kama kina kunguni au hakina.” Sisi...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As said by our chairman, the committees run the NG-CDF kitty contrary to what most people believe that Members of Parliament run it. This is as per the Act and Regulations. It is important that the committees are in place,...

Hon. Kassim Tandaza (Matuga, ANC) Thank you. Hon. Members, as the Chairman has clearly stated, the country is bound to benefit immensely if this House assents to the treaty by passing this Motion. If I am to stand at Zote Beach or Diani Beach that most of us know along...
