• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when we were dealing with Clause 9, Hon.

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: She withdrew it on the understanding that it is already provided for. We are re-introducing the same thing in another committee and yet she withdrew it in the Refugee Advisory Committee. view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: It is on record that she withdrew that amendment in Clause 9 on equitable gender representation. We are now talking of equitable gender representation, which we all agree is provided for in the Constitution. It is within the law that all committees shall be gender compliant.
