On the third last sentence under Clause 13 (1B) you say: “The school or faculty in the university shall elect three representatives of whom, at least, one must be of opposite gender from amongst persons who are not candidates under section 1A.” So, the Member is already implementing the constitutional provision when he talks about the election of the faculty members. view

• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I respect the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I also respect the Chair of the Committee.

• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That is what we are going to do because that is what you have told us to do. We have organised ourselves in a way that we will make sure this happens. view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: On the issue of this constitutional provision, you know very well what will happen. You were reading for us the Constitution and so, you know. If the men decide to pass this “thing”, because I cannot call it anything else except this “thing”. view
