It is important that the public is made aware and funding is provided so that our children can have this information at an early stage. This issue should not be left to teachers alone. We have had initiatives where we have even had some magistrates and senior police officers go to our schools so that they can talk to these children and equally enlighten them about the law, what it provides and what they are supposed to do. All these measures, I believe, have gone a ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I want to agree that very many suspects have had to be acquitted for want of investigations. We do not carry out thorough investigations in the field of sexual-related offences. This is because in most situations, these offences have just been taken like any other and this is a wrong approach.

I was kindly asking whether I would be in order to request you to ask the Mover to reply. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Let me get the Standing Order right away. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to put the record straight. When I stood earlier on, you requested me to quote the relevant Standing Order. I wish to refer you to Standing Order No. 95. I wish to rise and propose that you call upon the Mover to reply. I am of the view that this Motion has been fully ventilated. We also have constraints of time. We are left with about 10 minutes to closure of proceedings this morning. I think this Motion does not infringe on the rights of Members. I propose so. view
