• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: A friend of mine, who has a water bottling project, hired eight deaf youth. He told me: “I do not want noisy girls in my project. I want quiet busy girls.” The performance tripled when he hired the deaf youth, because they just took instructions and moved.

• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: I have had experiences with youth who have hearing impairment and they are able to do many things.

• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Data is extremely important. The process of collecting personal data is even more important than the data itself. There is a saying that if you put junk through a water pipe, the exit will be junk. In this case, as we are talking of protection of data, we need to be looking at the quality of data, the quality and integrity of the data collector and the protection of the person. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: I congratulate this Committee for being extremely insightful in the way that they have drafted the Bill. In the principles of data protection, they have outlined guidelines that will be used. The data subject shall be informed of the purpose for which the information is being collected. This is an important and fundamental right to the subject. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have had occasions where scientists from outside this country have come and set out to do experiments disguised as data collection. They pay their subjects and tell them to take certain pills and eventually come up with reports. ... view
