• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thanks. I rise to support the Bill that seeks to bring effect Article 81 of the Constitution, which is in Chapter 7 on the representation of the people. It seeks to bring amendments to enforce that not more than two-thirds of the members elected to public bodies shall be of the same gender. To begin with, I would like to start by a quote from Sen.

• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to thank the Committee and its Chairman for the good work they have done. It is, indeed, the Government’s responsibility to ensure safety, good health of its citizen, protection of the environment and a safe habitat for its citizens.
