• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The HANSARD will bear me out that the Mover of the Motion mentioned Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale when he was moving the Motion. He went on to say he was now nominating the two hon. Senators to be members of these committees. Indeed, Sen. Elachi is being nominated, not to increase the numbers of the committee beyond those allowed by the law, she is being nominated to replace Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale because he conducted himself in a manner that was not tolerable by his leadership. view

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for protecting me and saying that I was relevant. Indeed, I am relevant. I am opposing the nomination of Sen. Beatrice Elachi to the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs because it is irrational, unprocedural, dictatorial, unfair and contrary to the rules of natural justice.

• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those of us with the benefit of sharing Parliament with the late hon. Martin Shikuku knows that we need to have some light moments in this House. We cannot just be serious on every issue. You will remember how Martin Shikuku used to conduct business. I have just said that I am opposing the nomination of Sen. Elachi, not because she is incompetent – I have great respect for her – but because the procedure being used to bring her to the Committee, obviously, is irrational, like I said. That is why I am opposing it. I ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: On a further point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view

I want to urge you, Senators, that if you value the future of this House, you reject these nominations and compel the Senate Leader of the Majority to go back and reinstate the de-whipped Senator to his position. Just like I said, we want to face the work of this country, through this Senate, in a manner that takes the interest of our country first. We want to be above narrow partisan thinking. I want to urge every ... view
• 8 May 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said yesterday, we are developing our jurisprudence in this Senate.
