• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as you are aware, many women are not in this House because of the money element.

• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The sentiments expressed by hon. Sakaja who is the Chair of TNA are well founded. The only thing is that we sent out memoranda and we expected them to participate. I remember that as a Committee, we requested the Clerk to send a letter to the Centre for Multiparty Democracy (CMD) which brings together all the political parties but it is unfortunate that we never received any comments from that organization. We will make attempts to circulate the various amendments that the Committee has proposed so that we can align this Bill to the best practices of the Election Campaign ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: We are grateful to SUNY for sponsoring about two meetings in a number of hotels in which a number of Members participated in coming up with this Bill.

• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Yesterday, I left at the point where I was flagging out the letters that we received.
