2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to inform the House that I was supposed to give a Ministerial Statement on aflatoxin. I understand that this morning there was a lot of name calling and allegations that I had run out instead of giving the Statement. I want to inform this House that according to HANSARD, I am required to give that Statement this afternoon, as the Deputy Leader of Government Business had said. I was out of the country. In light of that, this House owes me an apology. Hon. Members said very bad things ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to strongly support this amendment. This House must be honest. If we really support the spirit of gender equity, if we support the two-thirds clause, then it is double standards when the only route out of this problem is presented, we reject it. We know that the country cannot carry another nomination to bring the number of women to two thirds after 290 seats. That will be impossible as far as expenses are concerned for this country.
