  • 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: we should disenfranchise them. This will also help parties to reward those who have worked very hard for the parties in certain areas. When you nominate a person who has not worked for the party in the said county, it discourages people. So, I support. Thank you. view
  • 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to intervene. I apologise to my brother for interrupting. I did not wish to do so. There is an issue that I had raised with the Speaker informally, but I want to put it formally. Even as we are moving the Children Bill, I know that it is in the Departmental Committee of Labour and Social Welfare. There are also issues relating to it that ideally should be looked at by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC). I was wondering whether they could have a joint meeting. One ... view
  • 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know if you are listening to me because your attention is distracted. view
  • 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I was just saying that I had the occasion to appear before JLAC with the Child Justice Bill, but I did not have an occasion to appear before the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare with the provisions The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

  • 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: which are on the same Bill. Even as we go on, I am not saying that we stop the Second Reading, but is it possible for JLAC and the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to sit together and give guidance because if they find that my Bill on Child Justice is more comprehensive, then we can just bring amendments to remove the provisions on child justice from the Children Bill and fast-track the child justice, so that it moves at the same pace with this one. view
  • 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even though it is a good practice to move a Bill when the Committee is present… I am personally interested in this Bill as a practitioner of child rights. In my entire life, I have practised family law on children rights and that is why I am unwell, but I am in the House today. It was not in good standing for the Leader of the Majority Party to move the Bill when the Chair was not there. However, I remember when I raised the matter with the Leader of the Majority Party at ... view

  • 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also add my voice to this issue. When people do not understand the import of a ruling, it is sad sometimes. The most dangerous concept that was raised in that process was the basic structure doctrine. If the courts had allowed it, reggae would be as dead as a dodo. The basic structure concept equates the Constitution to a Bible or Koran that cannot be amended at all. The judges have said that we should do it in the right way. Reggae is back. All we need to do is go on in August ... view
