• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: A fistula patient suffers from a lot of smelling from urine and faeces. It is a problem that brings about segregation and isolation of the patient. As my colleagues have suggested, we should give this condition the seriousness it deserves. Taking care of young women is taking care of our nation. We should treat young women. The ones who are affected by fistula are mainly from rural areas. Rangwe, my own constituency, has this problem. It is important that we look into the matter seriously. For every constituency, whoever is volunteering... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The urgency shown by Hon. Leshoomo in terms of wanting to contribute to this Motion is a clear indication that it is a very important Motion for women and the general public. It is important even to our male colleagues because this condition affects all of us when it affects a woman, girl or sister. view

They lock up themselves in their rooms. It is a medical condition like any other. They should come out for help. I am sure that help will be given. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I support. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have not relocated to another place. My sister had made a very good contribution on the Motion whose debate is currently ongoing. I had gone to congratulate her. Besides that, she is unwell. She broke her leg. So, I had gone to empathise with her. Having said that, I rise to support the Motion. Fistula is a big problem in this country.
