• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: There is need for us to urge the national Government to allocate some funds to cater for this group of people.

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, I thank you for giving me few minutes to add my voice to this Statement.

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: contribute to it. I congratulate Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement that is touching, burning and causing a lot of emotions to each one of us. I stand to support it because I am a mother and a lady. As we all know, many of our girls cannot do their exams well because they are expectant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are raising our concerns because this session is a sensitive one. Our girls are missing their exams because they are either pregnant or are delivering their children. It is unfortunate that, as a nation, this is the only ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when a Standard Eight child delivers in an exam room, many of us, as mothers, wonder how that girl has gone through all the pain and managed to sit for her exams.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just the other day, I heard someone saying that the parents of ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: whatever they want with girls when the parents are busy looking for their school fees. Therefore, as we take action on the victims, who are the girls in this case, we should also take action on the perpetrators. The girls should be forced to reveal the identities of the men who have caused those pregnancies, and they should be dealt with properly. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, female teachers in schools should protect our girls. We should tell them to be the mothers when we are not there, so that any man looking at any young girl with a suspicious eye should be dealt with immediately. That can be seen easily because women can know if the men are serious. Therefore, female teachers should be made responsible and be requested to fill the gap when the parents are not there.
