• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: It is alarming for a professional institution, not necessary academic institution, to realise mass failure when it comes to examinations. Students can fail, like Sen. Olekina said, due to poor preparation. Lecturers are to blame for poor preparation. Secondly, students can fail because of their study habits. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: I was a lecturer in a university and I realised that most students have poor study habits because they no longer engage in good study habits. I disagree with the idea that some lecturers compromise their moral standards by demanding exchange of marks with other things. The habit is not so rampant. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: Allow me to explain myself. It could contribute but it is not something rampant. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: We used to get such cases in the university but it is not something that could lead to mass failure. We also have male students among those who fail. What can somebody demand from a male student? Students can also fail because of the syllabus and that needs to be checked.

Kasanga for thinking wisely about the same. This particular Bill provides for an effective framework that will support awareness, treatment, prevention, care and human rights for the people suffering from mental health disorders. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: I am happy about the Clause that expounds on creating awareness. I am sure awareness includes enabling citizens to know that such people have a right to live and treated. They should not be stigmatised and be ashamed of. When you go to many villages, such people are associated with curses and superstition. More often than not, they are taken for treatment and handled crudely by magicians, witchdoctors and so on.

• 4 Jun 2019 in Senate: I am also happy that there is a clause that protects the property of mentally ill patients. I know of families that have not given these patients their due share. Instead, they share the properties and say that they will use what was meant for the mentally ill patients to take care of them. More often than not, the mentally ill patients suffers because they are not accorded their rights to property. I support this Bill though the amendments are important. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make a comment on this Petition concerning the people of Teri B Ranch. view
