• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: in this day and time, should we still refer to the digitised paper as a newspaper? Maybe, there should be a terminology for it. If the other countries have not, maybe, we need to go ahead of them. Also, if you look at the objective of this Bill, it is very limiting. It does not include what all the Members are talking about, which is to encourage a reading culture. It is very limiting in terms of the things that we need to provide this Bill for. I will be proposing further amendments in relation to that. In Clause 5 ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me pass my condolences and those of the people of Suba North on the loss of Hon. Yusuf Haji, whom I served with in the 12th Parliament. He was a very firm and strict person. I know people know him differently, but that is how I remember him. He was very strict and straightforward in everything he did. I also send my condolences to the people of Bonchari on the loss of Hon. Oyioka. I also send my condolences on the loss of Hon. Nyachae.

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was just hoping that the Leader of the Majority Party would have said something about concerns of some of us who are bringing Private Members’ Bills, especially given that in the recent past, we have seen a lot of older men dying after taking something called the blue pill. I have actually brought a Bill called the Reproductive Healthcare Bill that seeks to deal with some of the issues that are challenging our brothers which they do not want to talk about, and yet they are causing too many deaths. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We need to talk about these issues. The Bills are before this House. We are not bringing the Bill. How many people have to die when we can pass laws that can save our brothers and fathers? I would also like to encourage our brothers that there is a point that even the cow must stop eating. You cannot eat throughout your life. Even us, we are about to retire, so even men should get used to retiring. You cannot die on the job. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: So, I would encourage the Leader of the Majority Party to bring the Bill, and let us discuss the issues that affect our brothers. There are even issues that we discuss about women that people do not want. I am glad I came here as a young woman, and I am transiting. When I come back here in the next Parliament, I might be walking with a stick, but I will have the wisdom that I can teach the younger ones about resilience and all those. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: outside so that, if Members are coming in, they should not have… Even very well-meaning Members can cause harm without intending in the heat of the moment. I, request that so that this is not repeated. There should be strong gadgets that detect guns. There was a time some women Members of Parliament came with pepper spray. Unfortunately, instead of spraying on my eyes, it went to Hon. Kaluma. view
