• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 68 be amended in item (iii) of paragraph (o) by inserting the word “unlawfully” after the word “otherwise”; and (b) by deleting Subclause (2). Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, part (b) is outrageous. It says that a person who is convicted of an offence shall, subject to any express provision to the contrary, any written law relating to the election not be eligible to be registered as a voter ever or to vote in any election or not to be eligible to be elected at any election. This is absolutely outrageous. If you are convicted of an offence, you ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Since we removed part (ii), sub-section (iii) deals with part (ii). So, it is consequential. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the issue is not that this particular vote is for “x”. The issue is that, that person voted. The register shows that this person voted and that he should not have voted. So, there is your vote. That is the vote we are looking at and not specifically this particular ballot paper belongs to “x”. So, if you voted, we will know you voted. If you voted in two places, we know you voted in two places, irrespective of whether we know which specific ballot paper was yours. view

Let me confirm, first of all, that this Parliament has been very progressive on women issues so far. Surely, that has to be recognized.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if hon. Mbadi will let me have my say, the Constitution requires political parties to be equitable and to have the principle of parity when it comes to the Constitution. So, if a political party, for example, has 95 per cent of its nominees as men, surely, that political party will not have met the Constitution. This Parliament is also required under Article 100 to encourage--- view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not forcing political parties. We are saying that since the State is going to give you money, if you have more women on your ballot, you get more money. It is to encourage the political parties. If we have rejected a constitutional amendment, namely, the party list, surely on the funding issue, we can be flexible. I support. view
