The Petition that was tabled on the Floor of this House was, indeed, to question the fact that in a country that recognises the Almighty and the supremacy of the Constitution, there are attempts to push an agenda through the courts for registration of lesbian, gays and whatever. The Petition that I presented before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs was for the Committee to investigate, through the organisation that registers societies how much money has been poured into the country to promote the agenda for gays, lesbians and others.

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. view

Indeed, it is extremely important that the lacuna in this Act is addressed as soon as possible. The onus is on this House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: As our Chair said, there is the political aspect and the legal aspect, which is the legislative aspect. We cannot afford to have this lacuna. I do not want to belabour that point. With these few remarks, I second. view
