• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: This is the topic the world over. Everybody within various Parliaments and civil societies are talking about representation, democracy and what it takes for parliamentarians to come to the table and effectively represent their people. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the key buzzword that goes around is to what extent these parliamentarians effectively represent specific groups. There is also the whole issue of trust of these same parliamentarians of the issues, in sync with parliamentarian that are giving out and whether these are doing a very good job at it. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Even with that, and the report is very clear, there were other very specific processes that are very key, which were covered in this conference. One of them is mentoring of the parliamentarians themselves. There is the realization that many parliamentarians probably start the job without a specific process to ensure that they have been mentored and are able to engage in specific topics and issues that are very critical, so that they remain in sync with the issues of the day. view

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Quite a number of issues came out, especially on the issue of the women agenda, which is very critical in this country.

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, for that information. I think it brings it clearly in the light so that we know that we cannot talk about this skewed balance too much, because we would be complaining and saying that we did not have representation, even from the women in the Senate. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: If you look at this topic, they were talking of mentorship. For example, in Session Four, they were talking of combating bullying and harassment within parliaments. We know that, for example, from the Inter-Parliamentary union (IPU), various reports have come about legislators who have just started, and being able to get to a point where they can execute their business. view
