• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have listened carefully to what the Leader of the Majority Party has said, but the allegation he is making is that you and me do not have the capacity to procreate. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I believe, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we did not succeed in doing that in the 11th Parliament but, since we are coming back in the 12th Parliament, we can give it a shot. On behalf of Hon.

• 14 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill first as a mother who has had this experience, and as a daughter who honours a mother - although my mother went to rest on 21st May, 2017.
