  • 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House, first, that there are no women who have applied? They have applied and it is an issue of percentages we spoke about. Secondly, is he in order to castigate women for not applying? If he has encouraged women to apply, can he tell us one Suba woman who has applied for those positions? Charity begins at home. If he cannot get Suba women to apply, why is he castigating women in the country when women in other areas have applied? view

  • 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Minister to continue with the same point after you ruled him out of order? The National Cohesion and Integration Act is clear. I was in the sub- committee that actually came up with that law and we, in this House, are the ones who passed that law, which provides that not more than 30 per cent of workers must be of one community in any Government establishment.

  • 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry that I will have to raise these points of order, but I think the Standing Orders are very clear that if an hon. Member is out of order then we need to raise it with the House. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House that a certain gender is marginalizing itself and further discriminate and re-marginalize, especially the female gender by his inference?

  • 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can notice that, unfortunately, since I am the only woman here I have to raise it since the male gender are not supporting me! Under Article 27 of the Constitution, you are not allowed to discriminate. By his statement he is discriminating against women. Is he in order to be unconstitutional by discriminating against women? view
