• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I know it will come much later, but because it relates to this, let me read to the Chairman what I propose to be differential treatment: “Differential treatment is preferential treatment accorded to a child who is vulnerable or who is in a precarious socio-economic situation and includes affirmative action measures to protect the child.” So, it is actually positive. It is not negative. The way it is put in this clause means it is something negative. That is why I propose to exclude differential treatment, but leave discrimination. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, but if you do not include the word ‘positive’ then it is wrong. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you know people have to catch up on the just concluded party primaries. So, I am sorry I was distracted a little. I had to know whether my friend made it as a gubernatorial candidate. view

• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I can explain the clauses that I am challenging. In sub-clause 31, it starts with “where a child is born out of wedlock…” Why are we starting with “where a child is born out of wedlock..?” That is against Article 53 of the Constitution. So, I am saying: “subject to the provisions of this Act,” because we will be proposing amendments to allow for differential treatment; this is so that we understand that there are certain circumstances where we may treat children a bit differently because of cultural sensitivity. I am adding at the end of that whether or not ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: the child is born and children whose parents consequently get married. So, I am challenging sub- clause 6 as well. I am seeking to renumber 4 to 2 so that sub-clause will read “without prejudice to the generality of sub-section 1 not 3” because I am proposing to delete 3. I hope you are following me Hon. Chairman. So, I am proposing an amendment to Clause 3(1), deletion of entire 2, deletion of entire 3 (a) and (b), then I am proposing to renumber 4 to become 2 and after doing that I am proposing the deletion of entire sub-clause ... view

• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what is out of order is that the Hon. Member is misreading. He is doing exactly the opposite of what I am saying. My amendment is seeking to do the opposite of what he is trying to say. There may be a father somewhere who may be interested in taking care of the child and we cannot stop the father from having access to the child. However, we are saying that we will have circumstances in my proposed sub-clause 3… view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: It is both mother and father. Even recently the court made a decision which said that fathers can actually even…. Before that, the position in the court was that a child below nine years was automatically with the mother. The courts have reversed and they have now said even fathers can have children who are below nine years. However, in such a situation, we cannot exclude either the mother or the father from having access to the child. I am actually trying to look at the constitutional provision so that even as we are contributing, we are informed by the ... view
