• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you look at (g) it talks of one that has a child with another person. If someone has a child with that other person and that other person is living in his or her own house, then you cannot be in a domestic relationship with them. This is what the Committee said. I am not reporting my own things. I know hon. Mbadi is still seething from the loss that he may have suffered in the previous--- view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: That is with a light touch. Some people should appreciate jokes and laughter sometime. You should be laughing and not be serious every time. In conclusion, hon. Members must make a decision on this matter, if this is what you want, you know it will be unfortunate for this country that people who are not necessarily in a domestic relationship are included when defining what a domestic relationship is. That is what we said. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I note what the Members are saying. I am a lawyer and I am also getting exceedingly frustrated. This is because when Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs considered this Bill, it was looking at it contradistinction with other Bills. The Sexual Offences Act is there. So, what we are seeking to do is not to reproduce what is already contained in other Bills. We do not want to re-define what “family member” is as defined in the Marriage Act. We might end up having two different legislations which have different definitions of ... view

If you suspect that someone has committed a crime, you go and obtain a warrant and arrest the person. I support the deletion. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon.
