• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 129 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by deleting the words “prior to the child’s eighteenth birthday” appearing in the opening statement. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: The reason I am suggesting this is that you find very many cases where a parent discovers about the problem after the child’s 18th birthday. You are then stuck because it is not your fault. It should not be limited to a discovery beyond a child’s 18th birthday. Clause 129 (2) of the Bill deals with a child who suffers from mental or physical disability. We have dealt with many such cases in the past. One guardian or parent suffers because the issue was not discovered before the child’s 18th birthday. It is wrong to provide for that. Even if ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I may reconsider to the extent that we define a child up to 18 years. So, my amendment, even though well-meaning, maybe self-defeating. We actually have very many serious cases where a child is beyond 18, has a mental incapacity and find one person suffering while others go scot- free. However, age 18 is beyond the scope of the Act. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: I understand and withdraw my amendment. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 130 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (6) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c)— “(d) an interested person view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: The appointment of a guider may be terminated at any time by an order of the court on application in the prescribed form and it provides very specific people. It should not just be limited to those specific people. It can also be by an interested person because the way we move about it even under the Constitution is that an interested person should be able to move an issue in relation to a child. If we only limit it to a parent or guardian or to a child to whom the appointment relates or to a relative, sometimes they ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. When I was a lawyer at the Cradle, I was an interested person that I could bring a case in relation to a child. I could also not be working at the Cradle but I am a neighbour who sees that something wrong is happening. I am an interested person in that case but for clarity... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. I am also saying that for clarity, we can define it. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just want to request your indulgence for one or two minutes, so that I can check the amendments I have and also request for a hard copy of the Order Paper because I have several amendments which I do not want to miss. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Charles has donated his and is requesting for another one. Also, to enable us, because the Committee and I have several amendments, I am requesting that as we move them, we be given the page numbers so that we can move quickly. We are hoping to finish this either today or tomorrow. view
