Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the delegation from Zimbabwe. What attracted me is the fact that the Senate of Zimbabwe has equal gender representation. I am very happy with that. I think we need to borrow a leaf...

Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen.

Anyway, that notwithstanding, I truly support this Statement on International Day of the Girl Child in as much...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the Senator in order to discuss four Senators without any substantive Motion? I thought that was against the Standing Orders. One of the Senators, representing the youth, is not even in the House which is unfair. There is no substantive Motion for...
