.DrAhmadLawan: We could not pass gender bills | I feel so bad about it | TheCable
Senate President Ahmad Lawan says he felt bad that the gender bills were not passed by the national assembly under his watch.
“First of all, when the bills, five of them that concern women were not voted for by the national assembly, I think naturally, there are things that we assume could happen. But they didn’t happen the way we wanted them. But remember that even bills that concern the national assembly were killed,” he said.
“And there are issues that concerned the national assembly itself that were not really passed. So I felt bad that we couldn’t pass any of them. But I’m also very optimistic that if we re-strategize, look at the way we campaign we could get either all of them or some of them passed in the next assembly by the grace of God.”
