• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: 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
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: have expected many of the ladies in this Assembly and particularly those who are inclined to pursue the question of gender to come and support. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I appreciate, but I have not seen the strength and stamina which I saw from most ladies of this House as they pursued the question of amendments of the Constitution to provide for gender. That stamina is kind of lacking. But anyhow, I just want to make it clear that this is the only way in the architecture of the Constitution by which issues of gender can be mainstreamed in the Constitution. You know that Judiciary took a rather deem view of the Constitution. I heard many judges saying that the National Assembly would be scrapped because we had not ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The Chairman of the CIOC is here. I will allow him to attend to me. I think this will enrich some of the things he is looking at. There should be a Schedule to the Act in which some communities are from time to time prescribed to be ethnic minorities. That can be done by the Cabinet Secretary in charge of whichever ministry it is, even if it is the Attorney-General.

• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I think there is a problem again in terms of policy and law making in this country. We like using law to police outcomes. We make laws and then force wananchi to behave accordingly. That is not how law is done. Law cannot achieve much if we use it to police people. What I mean is this. For example, just like the Member for Kathiani has said, if you need a third or a percentage of people to be either of disabilities, youth or women, you cannot police it. You have to use another method to encourage that outcome to ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I think this is out of order. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Another one is standing between me and the Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: This is the problem that we have from a policy perspective. We try to use law to drive a process. In India, they would, for example, have girls’ schools to encourage women to go to school. They have technical vocational education and training institutions (TVET) institutions which are designed for females. In that case, you will find several ladies who will have graduated and who have capacity to be in decision-making positions. However, if you tell a political party that you want them to bring a certain number, it is impossible. That is not how human geniality is done. I ... view
