PRIME MINISTER HON: KASSIM MAJALIWA RESPONDING IMPROMPTU QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT LAST WEEK IN DODOMA
Prime Minister Hon. Kassim Majaliwa
In unprecedented move, the speaker of National
Assembly Job Ndugai has dismissed and declared as baseless a question which was intended to be directed to
the Prime Minister by Ubungo legislator Saed Kubenea (Chadema) in parliament last
week saying that it had a religious affiliations in it. An abrupt intervention
of the speaker had prevented Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa from answering the
question directed to him by the outspoken legislator from the opposition camp
and remained speechless for a while. “Why is it that Mr. Kubenea you are fond
of asking questions which are related with religious affiliations”, the speaker asked him and after which he immediately
gave a chance to another legislator and embarked on another question.

Kubenea wanted to know from the Prime Minister why is it that during the time
for Hija in Mecca the National Muslim Council (BAKWATA) is given a monopoly to
arrange trips of people going for this holy visit in Mecca and not other organizations.
Before the PM answered his question, Ndugai intervened by asking Kubenea who in
turn showed his interests in it. “Mr. Speaker I am a Muslim believer and very
much interested to know how preparations are made to accomplish this important
Muslim pillar”, Kubenea said.
