• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you will find that Section 41 has been challenged thoroughly by the Leader of the Majority Party, hon. Duale, stating that compensation to victims should not be stated in this Bill. However, in accident claims, persons who have suffered through a road accident are awarded damages in a court of law because they have suffered an injury due to a road accident. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what we are saying is that domestic violence is violence that is inflicted upon a person intentionally. So, we are saying if you inflict domestic violence to your spouse who has submitted to you and who loves you according to the book of Ephesians as stated by the hon. Member, then it is only right that you are forced by the law to repay that person damages for the injury that you have caused that person. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, so the best thing is to have a law that protects this person and compensates you in the unlikely event that you suffer that injury. Nothing is bad. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the Penal Code, people are normally charged with robbery with violence. If you are charged with robbery with violence under Section 296(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code and you are found guilty, the court is duty bound to condemn you to death. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, nothing in this Bill proposes that if you are found guilty, you are condemned to hang. It is only saying that there is a penalty if you are found guilty for such an offence. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, so, if we are able to accommodate the Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code, I do not see what is wrong with us now accommodating this Bill that is supposed to protect the very people that we purport to love. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it has also been said that we are trying to legislate on economic abuse. We are not because hon. Midiwo submitted that if you refuse or if you go and give money to your other spouse in a polygamous marriage, then it means that you have failed to provide for the other spouse. However, polygamy is recognized. We just passed a Bill called the Marriage Act. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, so, I cannot accuse you for providing for the other spouse if I chose to be in a polygamous marriage. If I want you alone, I will go under the Christian marriage. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, therefore, this is a very good Bill. I pray for my brothers to specifically and kindly support. If you do that, then you will be doing it for your children, sisters and mothers and for the lives that are going to be there in future. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support this Bill. view
