• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House that I mentioned that I am supporting through a private institution when, indeed, I said that I am supporting kids attending public schools through my private initiative or my private finances. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: From my salary, of course! view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while I support the entire initiative of the Bill on sorting out this menace on FGM, I feel that creating a whole new board, which is the essence of the whole new part is probably not necessary because all these matters can be handled by existing infrastructure in terms of bodies within the Ministries and the Sexual Offences Act. There are very many other bodies through which this matter can be handled. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are creating a new board now which will also occasion expenditure that will need to be financed. We have not provided how this new board will be financed, without which will be a recourse to the Exchequer and that requires prior approval. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: So, I urge that perhaps, we go with the Bill as it was, but without necessarily having to create a whole new board for overseeing what could be overseen through the different bodies that are already in existence. However, unless the Committee has any other views, they need to, perhaps, tell us the genesis of that because it was not in the original Bill. This is a new clause and it is something that we need to deliberate on because of the cost implications of having a whole new board to do that and we have not worked out how ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to oppose this amendment for now unless I am convinced otherwise. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with Mr. Kajwang that putting in the Board and specifically saying you want members who come from areas where this practice is rampant is self defeating. Also, by targeting people because a certain anti-social behavior is taking place in their area might actually be discriminatory and against the spirit of the Constitution. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose this amendment. Much as I appreciate the sentiments of Dr. Khalwale, it will give a bad impression, that you have only been invited to this Board because in your area FGM is rampant. People might even ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating this House for this historic moment, but more importantly, to add the congratulations to hon. Kapondi. It took a man to bring this matter to the Floor of the House, notwithstanding the fact that we have a fair representation of lady Members in this House. But it took the courage of a man to come and fight for our girls. I want to recognize that fact. It just goes to show that men are very sensitive to issues that relate to their daughters, ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to add my voice to the support and thank the Committee for a job well done in terms of interrogating the guarantees that have been placed before them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more importantly, this is the first guarantees that are actually being passed by this House since the new law on the management of loan guarantees and the manner in which that has to be done. The Committee did it exactly as per the script of the new law. It is very important to acknowledge the fact that the Committee ... view
