• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am afraid I go through the same frustrations. I have demanded in writing that the Bills be approved by Cabinet. I have demanded that they be published yesterday on 10th august, 2011. I am still waiting to see whether they have been published. However, you do realize I have no control over the Government Printer. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem would be in the office of the Attorney-General, the CIC because on their request they are required to have post Cabinet consultations. I have sent the amendments. I sent them within half an hour of Cabinet’s approval. It is fair that you know and the House knows that I requested His Excellency to release me immediately upon the approval of these Bills, so that I could do the letters to the CIC and the Attorney-General so that they could have the Bills published. As of yesterday, I am informed that the Attorney-General’s office was ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to move that the National Gender and Equality Commission Bill be now read a Second Time.

I want to thank you and, therefore, I will remove that particular part, Section 110, from my presentation and say that Parliament, otherwise, failed in the other discretion given. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am glad to hear that. While thanking you for that wonderful law, may I also, with your permission, mention that it took 47 years to bring forth that law. This country gained Independence in 1963. We were in our own hands until you brought forward that law. I would hate to think that there are people in this country who will wait for another 47 years in order to empower our women through an independent Gender and Equality Commission. I was raising those particular issues just to highlight the fact, as I will continue ... view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Allow me to quote from a book written by a professor of Psychology, Prof. Fulham, on the issue of decision making because I will be raising these things after we have done sector consultations on the issue of the Administrative Justice Bill that we have also published. He writes, and I quote: “Prospect theory explains both why we act when we shouldn’t and why we don’t act when we should. Curiously, the more choices that people have in life, the more likely they are to do nothing; and the more attractive options they have, the worse the delay and paralysis, ... view
