• 19 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do that. view
• 28 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion and the list of the Members of the House Business Committee (HBC) as constituted. I was one of those who opposed because gender parity had not been considered. I am happy that, that has been done now. I would like to say that let us not always be made to ask for ourselves. Let the inclusion of women in all decisions that are being made be automatic so that we do not have to ask. view
• 28 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to congratulate you for the decision you have made today. The whole country was really tense and waiting for the decision that you were going to make. When I listened to Mr. Mutava Musyimi last week, he said that he hoped that you were going to use your sword and you said that you were not going to use any sword like King Solomon did. For sure, you have not used your sword but you have ruled correctly so that the two Principals of this Grand Coalition Government can sit down and agree and ... view
• 22 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose this Motion. view
• 22 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: In doing so, during the last Session of Parliament, when the names of the HBC were presented to this House we saw, again, the number of women who had been appointed to that Committee and I opposed it at that time. The Leader of Government Business then said that “Let that remain but we will take into account the position that we should have more women”. If you look at this list, I do not know how the consultations were done. Although I am a Member of the HBC today as presented, I do not think it is fair that ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I do know that all Members of Parliament are really worn out because we have had a long spell in Parliament. We just went on Christmas recess and came back. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: As we go on recess, we know that there are serious issues that are facing the country to the extent that we, as leadership, both Parliament and Executive, are being seen by our citizenry as people who are not working. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that due to the problems that we have gone through, we all need to hold together and ensure that as we go out, as leaders, we can continue to give hope to our people. Things may be very bad at the moment, but it is up to us, as leaders, to go out there and preach not only peace but hope and, indeed, tell people what we are doing and not just what the Government is not doing. This is because each Member of Parliament is controlling a certain amount of ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, I think one of the things that we have lacked in every constituency, is ensuring that this money is properly monitored, and even put in place some evaluation teams to show what this money is doing at the end of the day. Quite honestly, it defeats me to know that we have got much more money going to the constituencies and, yet, we can hardly feel - especially Members from the Opposition side. They need to start learning and stand up and say, "thank you," to the Government that has put so much resources ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that we, the Members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Constitutional Review have been almost condemned. But I would like to ask hon. Members not to judge us so harshly. I know that we should have brought a list that would have been accepted, but it is also very healthy that we brought a list that Members of Parliament were able to look through and, indeed, criticize and take us back to look through it and see what else can be done. We all know what we went through. view
