• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Otherwise, known as gesa gesa or Hon. Millie Mabona. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I fully support the nomination of the three adults to this Commission on Administration of Justice. This is a Commission which is equivalent to the people’s watchman. I would equate it to IPOA that checks on police behaviour, or the Advocates Complaints Commission (ACC). These are bodies put to support the public where there is misbehaviour by Government bodies. That is why I call it the people’s watchman. I had occasion to work very shortly at the ACC. I want ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: he will not, but when it becomes remunerative, he gives it a very fancy name called ‘chef”. You will find that all the chefs are men. So, if you find anything that has monetary implication, the men will re-baptise it and take over. I am very happy today because we are recognising the capability of women. Yesterday, I had the occasion of being interviewed by somebody who was asking me about the history of the women movement. I said in spite of the fact that we have challenges and we might ask whether we still have a movement, there are ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Leader of the Majority for other reasons. I do not want to over exalt her virtues. She is an excellent lawyer. She is a very strong woman. She fought on the issue of miraa . I know the woman who has taken over from her. I have met her and we have served with her in the Parliamentarians for Global Action. She is an equally good woman. She will do a good work. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know Hon. Lucy. I served with her when I was a State Counsel at the State Law Office. She is a very ... view

• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is an amendment Bill and maybe the definition that Hon. Shamalla is asking for is in the parent Act. So, perhaps, if there is a technical person from the respective ministry could indicate whether there is such a definition in the Act. But if there is no definition in the Act, it will be a glaring omission that the Chair could propose an amendment on his feet because he has the authority by our Standing Orders. I am sure you have a technical person who is supporting you, who can give us information ... view

• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with due respect to the Chair of the Committee, I think he is confusing issues when talking about these groups. You must differentiate between elective positions and technical positions. What Hon. Shamalla is saying is that it does not matter what level of organising you have, so long as you are doing technical work, there needs to be some level of technical qualifications, but if it is an elective position, you can elect anyone. You can elect even a person who did not go to a nursery school, but when it comes to technical issues and ... view

• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am raising too many points of order. The Chairman has raised a fundamental issue without realising. He is saying that the amendments that have been raised by the Committee are more than 50 per cent. So, substantively by the rules of this House, we should not even be discussing these amendments. If that is his position, would I be in order to say that the proceedings at this stage be stayed until he gets further direction? We need a substantive Bill as was suggested by Hon. Osotsi. By the rules of this ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Whereas I have no objection to the proposed amendment, I just want to encourage the Chairman. If I had seen this much earlier, I would have brought an amendment, but as per the normal practice now, we should be sensitive to gender issues. Is it possible for the Chairman to move that some of the members or a given number of members will be of the opposite gender so that we can have representation of both men and women in this body? view
