• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I do not have time. There is no point of order. Let me finish and then you will talk. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: What I am saying here is that all of us are here to protect our people. Hon. Temporary Deputy, I am saying that we should also look behind and think of our daughters who will be treated the way you are treating people here. All the time, women are victims. They have no property. You marry and after sometime, you think that you can divorce that woman and you go and look for another person. We are going to agree, if that is the case, that the day you marry, whether you marry one day and one night, that is ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the debate on the Bill as amended. I have listened to how many of our colleagues have contributed to this Bill. When one is involved in an accident, he is affected psychologically. If you go to hospitals where accident victims are, you will see how they suffer. Some stay in hospitals for more than six months and during such time, some of them are not compensated. They pay a lot of money in terms of hospital bills and at the end of this long journey of staying in hospital; they ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we speak about the road accidents, few hon. Members have proposed that we include motorcycles in the Bill. We need to include motorcycles and then come up with a figure for their compensation. We also propose and agree that because of delays of victims getting compensated--- view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I do not want to be informed. He does not know what I want to say. I want to finish. Let him give me a chance to contribute because he had his time. I was proposing that payments can be made within one or three months after an accident so that the families of the victims do not suffer. Thank you so much. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have just come in and thought I was late; that is why I put my card on. I did not want to give any contribution; I am just on the line. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to oppose the amendment that has been proposed by the Chair of the Departmental Committee. Division of any matrimonial property acquired before or after marriage should be done equally, regardless of whether the woman is working or was working before. Sometimes, women are marginalised. When man goes to work, you are left at home to take care of his children, wash his clothes and cook. When he comes back, you entertain him. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: seconded. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am very happy for having been given this opportunity to contribute. I do not think I am going to say much because most of the issues have been spoken to. I rise to support this Motion because during campaigns, most women go through very difficult times. When you are campaigning and your colleagues are men, they dominate the area and then they surround our party leaders. We women have no opportunity to do that. If I have to be very honest, in the last elections I went through a The electronic version of the ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: very difficult time; I went for party nominations with people who never belonged to my party, because they were able to pay some good money to the party. I am a woman and they think that women always have no money; that is why we are subjected to this kind of treatment; that is why we are not able even to be supported. view
