• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have not finished. What I want to be assured of as a lay person is that I often see that when people are charged, they are charged in accordance with that Act. Would this mean that when you are in court then you have to refer to the other Acts and not just this one? I need to be assured. view

• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I may have to explain to Seme people why this Bill was passed while I was present. If I do not understand it, it will not be fair.What I am getting as we go along is that certain parts of other laws were imported.

• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a very happy person today. Actually, for over eight years, I have been involved in the field of the protection of the family and particularly children. That this House has passed this Bill is a great occasion today. The people who suffer most in domestic violence, unknown to many people, are children. They die, get maimed and are traumatized. With this Bill, they are going to be protected. I feel happy that I am part of this process. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: It started with all the other Bills, like the Marriage Bill, the Matrimonial Property Bill, the Victim protection Bill and now this one.
