• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member in order to be giving us sexist statements that Eve corrupted Adam when we actually know that Adam is the one who was corrupt by being a very weak person? view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to oppose. The reason is that if you look at Article 79, you will find that it already establishes the commission and all these provisions that are being indicated here can be provided for under an Act of Parliament. We cannot put Acts of Parliament in the Constitution. I beg to oppose. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to draw to the attention of the House that I have been informed that one of the informed Houses is reporting that this House is not serious. I am being given as an example; that, I have supported a Motion and walked out. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been sitting here faithfully since morning. When I walked out was when I was asked by Parliament to go out and sign a document. If they want to show a caption, they need to show that. I do not want to be shown as an example, especially when the facts are not correct. Could you, please, rule on that? view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: No, I have not, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would like to say that I have sat here for two days up to 8.00 p.m. but I was not given a chance. I wish we had made certain amendments. However, other than that I fully support this because, it speaks on the issue of equalization and the issue of exclusion through principles, institutions and other mechanisms; an expanded Bill of Rights, human rights based approach to programming, policy making and legislations making. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: It has included marginalized groups and special interests like children, women and has given special seats for women who, because of difficulties that they face especially violence and lack of finances, are not able to be here. That is why today we are only 22 and we are number 105 in the whole world against other countries whose names I cannot remember. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Are we in order to be going back on your ruling when you have decided that these are very two different amendments? If you look at the amendment that was raised in the morning, I, personally abstained because of the addition of Articles 26, 29 and 30, which by implication in law, was excluding the Disciplined Forces from other rights that they should have, and yet there is no reason to exclude them from enjoying these rights. But if you look at this, there is no mention of those Articles, so ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to support, especially because of Clause 2, that life begins at conception. As a Christian first and as a child activist, my interest is first to protect life. However, as it has been said in the book of Jeremiah 1-5 the Bible says that before you were formed in the womb, I knew you. So, we cannot say that life begins at conception because it begins before. I would also want to support especially the issue of life beginning at conception and that we should not have it in the Constitution because it leads ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I cannot withdraw mine, because I have none. But there are some of us who really wanted to speak to this historic moment and we were not given the opportunity. The only time we have is through these amendments. For instance, the next one I want to hit it thoroughly. Could we, please, move on? view
