• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine is a follow up to that point of order by hon. Shabesh. Whereas Dr. Khalwale mentioned the name of a widow of a former colleague, he has repeated the same by mentioning her company. So, we, as women in this House would like Dr. Khalwale to declare his interest on this matter and say whether he has issues with the late Dr. Galgallo so that he can pay him! view

• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this system is already in place for civil cases and the issue here is that if the Attorney-General is opposed to it, then it means he has no confidence in his judicial officers. This Clause is discretional and it is left to the judicial officer to determine whether an adjournment is unnecessary or is an abuse of the court process. Whereas the Attorney-General has urged me to wait for the Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill, I would urge him to let this pass and amend it later. view

• 26 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the Minister's answers. However, when he talks about having a strategic place for beach operators, could he be more specific about it? How accessible will that place be for both the beach operators and tourists? We all know that these beach operators represent over 2,000 families. The Minister has accused beach operators of being drug dealers and prostitutes. How can he prove that those beach operators are promoting prostitution and drug abuse instead of them seeking their livelihoods? view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister has told us that Pan Paper is ISO certified. Could he confirm that the standards were lowered because, given the emissions emanating from that factory, it is very clear that they have not met international standards on air pollution? view
