• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: If you see me saying this, I sit in this House, talk to Members and hear what they say. That is why I am pleading with my sisters and not the male Members. I understand and can tell them they have never seen me in Embrace. This is a fight between Embrace and County Women Representatives (CWR). Let us not go that way my dear sisters. It is very wrong for the nation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was consulting with the Chair of KEWOPA and so, I missed that. I wish to support the allocation to IPOA and contrary to what Hon. Bowen has said, you notice that we even had a musician singing: “Hey, Hey, una maswali mingi kwani wewe nipolisi.” The reason they were singing that is sometimes we have policemen who do not conform to human rights standards and because we have a few of those, there must be somebody overseeing them. Even Parliament is overseen by the public. Every five years if we misbehave, we are voted ... view

• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not have dual citizenship even though I am married in Zimbabwe. Having said that, I wish to inform Hon. Sabina Chege that the House, with your permission, can take judicial notice of the fact that there is a matter in court. So, Hon. Sabina does not have to name names when the Speaker can take judicial notice of the fact that there is a matter already in court. It is concerning one MP. Men like giving us very difficult stands: That, she has to name names when it is Sabina, and he ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker! view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to inform Hon. Cecily Mbarire that when the Speaker gives a ruling on a matter, you cannot depart or purport to depart from that ruling, but you can respectfully disagree with the position of the Speaker. Just pretty much the same way as a lawyer, you can respectfully disagree with the decisions of a court, including a decision of the Supreme Court. May I also inform Hon. Cecily Mbarire that Article 78(3)(b), which has not been cited here, says that “any person who has been made a citizen of another country by ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am hearing an honourable Member saying there is ability. That is a matter of law that must be espoused up to the Supreme Court. Because of that, we can respectfully disagree with the Speaker and advise Mwende Mwinzi to go up to the Supreme Court to seek interpretation of the section that I have just talked about. So, let Hon. Kaluma not intimidate us with law. Women here are learned. Do not joke with us. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by declaring my interest. I have a very serious interest in this matter. I do not know Mwinzi Mwende personally, but she is a woman and I am one. That is my first interest. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I am sad that the Member is leaving before he hears what he asked me to do. He asked me to declare my interest. My husband is Zimbabwean. I do not have dual citizenship. The reason I do not have dual citizenship is because I am still negotiating with my husband to allow me to marry a second and a third husband like men have done. When he allows me, I will come and change the law. If I change the law, I will declare my dual or triple citizenship. These men can sit here and judge us women ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: When dealing with this matter, I want to look at it as the law is, whether we should change the law or not. On the law as-is, Article 78(1) of the Constitution says that a State officer or a member of the defence forces shall not hold dual citizenship, but Article 78(3) says that clauses (1) and (2) do not apply to: “(b) any person who has been made a citizen of another country by operation of that country’s law without ability to opt out.” The reason I am saying that this is something that is up for the courts ... view
