Ukerewe. The Speaker of the first multiparty parliament following the repeal of the law to end CCM’s one party rule in 1992, Mr Pius Msekwa recalls the foundation that he set to make the institution a true people’s voice.

Now in retirement after a decades-long public service career, Mr Msekwa says, to this day, he still feels proud of making history as the Speaker who laid down the foundation of presiding over a multiparty Parliament.
