• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: As we pass this Bill, we are looking at this kind of culture that is not favourable to women. Affirmative action is not very cheap and easy for women. As one of the 47 women representatives in this country, I went out there to campaign against very strong men who wanted to have a weak woman with them. I spent money and crisscrossed very vast areas and a lot of energy to get an affirmative action position. Women are patient and strong even under very difficult circumstances. If they are given opportunity through affirmative action to participate in elections, they ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Women have a lot of capacity and can take leadership positions, but are left out because of lack of money. This Bill will allow women to seek elective posts through all other processes. Women will go for these positions from the constituency, governorship and even as Senators. This Bill will enable women to have an alternative of top-up in terms of affirmative action. We are talking about the numbers in the House and the need to reduce them, we will not reduce the two-thirds gender principle. We can have a House of 10 Members, but we will still demand for ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have been working very hard to support men, so it is high time we are given our right. Women should be given what belongs to them. We are not demanding or competing with anybody. We are not undermining the male leadership, but we are only asking for inclusion, participation and space. We passed the two-thirds gender principle in the Constitution. We are not taking over seats that belong to men, but we are only asking for space which is given to women by the women. view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move:- THAT, clause 5 of the Bill be amended− (a) by deleting sub-clause (1); and, (b) in sub-clause (4) by deleting the words “person or persons” appearing immediately after the words “just compensation to the” and substituting therefor the words “community”. I am proposing that amendment because we know that land is owned by communities and not persons. In the arid and semi-arid areas, we have trust lands and it is communities who live there. Thank you. view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support the Petition. I know that we have NYS camps in Bura and Balambala. It is only prudent that we use the human resource and the capital that we have to ensure that communities do not suffer. I am sure that if that area is unblocked, we will have a better economy and a better way of life for the community. So, I stand to support and urge the NYS Director to act with speed because we have people on the ground who can do that work. Thank you. view
