• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance to speak in support of the Committee’s Report on Sessional Paper No.3 of 2019. I may not be gifted in graphics like my sister, Hon. Millie and so, I will not attempt to do that. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: As we speak with the kind of animation that we are subjecting this Report to, I wish we do not lose the seriousness of the problems that our girls and women are facing as a result of the practice of FGM.

• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: A colleague was saying that we should not be talking about FGM but, instead, talk about early marriages and early pregnancies. Female Genital Mutilation is a causative effect of early marriages and early pregnancies because once you circumcise those girls, they become women and they go to do those other things. view

• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon.
