• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: piece but the legal experts within Parliament ought to help you by looking at those legislative provisions that need amendments. One of them is the AFA Act. Certain sections need to be repealed. You cannot just say wherever they are found. That is not legislation. It may be dancing or something else. You do not legislate that way. I think our legal counsels need to be more serious. We are not in church where we do things by faith and hope that somehow it will just materialise. Here we are doing serious business. So, I challenge my sister, Hon. (Ms.) ... view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I wish to support but, as I do that, I want to comment on some of the issues that have been raised. Parliament goes not just by our rules which are written but, by practice especially in the Commonwealth. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: One of the things that has been of concern to me… I am happy that we recognised the issue of the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party and the Hon.

I know of a Bill that came before this House and because the name was misleading… I wanted to contribute to it because I did that for my thesis. We completely went off-track and passed a law completely off-track. Why? Because there was no time. It was a different Speaker on the Floor.

• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that has been my concern and we can find a way of creating that balance so that we can give value.
