• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a serious issue there. Let me take another angle. The advisory opinion of the Supreme Court on the gender question in Article 91 gave Parliament the deadline of 27th August, 2016. So, there needs to be an element of determination of this question. I am not certain whether the Bill in the National Assembly was on principle. This is on principle or under Article 81, but I am not certain whether we are looking at the measures of ensuring that we comply with the two-thirds requirement. Any conflict on this question will fall ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the same. That is what I said. If there is a rejection on the Standing Orders. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: At the National Assembly, because the Bill needs concurrence. The legal question--- view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the elephant in the room. Did they reject the measure or the principle to the extent that--- view

It could be a different Bill, but the National Assembly was attempting to deal with Articles 81, 97 and 98. So, if it is substantially the same --- view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the reason it would have been important that before we finalise whatever we are doing, we check, so that we are clear. It is a point and I am ready to contribute because where I stand, I am a special rapporteur for gender parity of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). I have an issue about this, but those are fundamental questions. We know what has happened before. Bills have been sent to them but they have not been listed.

• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, you are. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support in principle. It is fair that we affirm the constitution. Article 260 says:- “The “affirmative action” includes any measure designed to ameliorate an inequity or the systematic denial or infringement of right or fundamental freedom”. It is disappointing that in the history of this country we know - Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale mentioned this during our Senate Select Committee - that women are 52 per cent of the population. They are the majority and yet 50 years since Independence, they continue to be marginalized. I have the privilege of being one of the ... view
