• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, other than using the word "complainant", I would have used the word "Republic" as the complainant. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I did exactly that very early in the morning today, and I was told that because there was an amendment in the Order Paper, this was going to be a further amendment to the original amendment and so there was no need of circulating the notice. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you go to Clause 2 on page 347, the word "complainant" means:- "The Republic or the alleged victim of a sexual offence and in the case of a child or a person with mental disabilities, includes a person who lodges a complaint on behalf of the alleged victim where the victim is unable, unwilling or inhibited, from lodging and following up a complaint of sexual abuse;" So, we need a person who is not just a complainant. So, I indicated that the word "Republic" should be deleted from the meaning of "complainant". view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 (b) be further amended by deleting the word "Republic" under "complainant" but the rest of the words remain. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there can arise at a situation whereby the Republic could be misused and maybe victimise people by turning out as a complainant when actually no case or matter has arisen. So, I want the word "Republic" to be deleted in the definition of "complainant". view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, among the complainants in Clause 1080 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 31, 2006 2(b) is the Republic, but I foresee a situation whereby those in power might misuse the Republic being a complainant to mishandle other people turning out as complainants instead of the real victims coming out. So, I would wish that the word "Republic" be deleted and we leave the rest of the definition as it is. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in any criminal case, the Republic is a complainant. Why are we putting the word "Republic" to appear as if the "Republic" is initiating on its own? In view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: the same Bill, we have the alleged victim of a sex offence. Why are we inserting the word "Republic" specifically as if it is initiating on its own without any criminal event coming out? view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had intended to propose an amendment, but after consultation and looking at the menacing eyes over there, I have decided to withdraw my amendment. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to withdraw my amendment. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, initially, I was not aware of what attempted defilement is, but my able sister-in-law assisted me. I have understood the argument and I wish to withdraw my amendment. view
