A top contender for the Senate Presidency, Senator Ali Ndume, has said that if elected, he will give legal backing to constituency projects.
Ndume made this known while accepting his nomination for the Senate Presidency on Tuesday.
He said: “It is my intention that we work together to ensure that our budget is passed on time and a timeline for confirmations to be undertaken from the executive.
“Constituency Projects need to have a legal backing.
“I will be ‘Senate President’ rather than ‘Senator’s President.’”
Ndume said the office of Senate President should not be controlled from outside the parliament and that his nine-point agenda will elevate the Senate.
