• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: On a point order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. There may have been a leakage in 2001, but in 1981, I was not the Minister for Education. I was Minister for Transport and Communications. The point is that you cannot explain a current leakage by referring to past leakage. You cannot say that since there was a leakage 10 years ago, there is justification for a leakage now. This Assistant Minister should resign for condoning and covering up examination leakage! view

• 27 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this vital Budget Speech. From the outset, I would like to say that we normally discuss the Budget as "pro-poor". This Budget can be described as "pro-rich". I wish the Minister would pay attention while I am making my contribution because I have a few important things to say. During the launch of the economic survey, the Minister said that the economy of this June 27, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1615 country has grown by 5.8 per cent.

• 27 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is not listening to my contribution because he is busy talking to the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing. However, he should re-consider this very heavy levy which will affect the poor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister said that transport costs will be cheaper because roads will be made. However, three years down the line since this Government came into power, we have not seen any roads being constructed. I do not know what miracle is going to happen in the next one and half years to 2007. I do not ... view

• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a modern Bill whose time has come. Those who are opposing it really belong to the last century. They are conservatives. When the Mover sought permission to introduce this Bill, those of us on this side of the House supported it. view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The other day when the Mover moved her Motion to introduce this Bill, we supported it because at that time there were rampant cases of rape, particularly of children. Every other day we see it on television. It has actually hurt some of us. It is about time that deterrent sentences were meted out on these rapists. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Bill now being debated was introduced to the House, we found out that it encompassed quite a lot of other areas dealing with this crime of sexual offences and we all ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clauses 23 and 24 deal with sexual harassment and there are fears that this can be misused. However, if you read and analyse them, let me say that it will criminalise courtship. I believe it is possible to court without sexually harassing that particular person you are courting. In particular Clause 24 deals with sexual harassment by persons in authority or in the work place. When I was the Minister for Education, I was informed of a case where a head teacher had sexually harassed pupils and, in fact, impregnated all the 12 girls who ... view
