• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in condemning the two gentlemen who made the very unfortunate remarks in Facebook regarding Sen. Hassan Omar in the strongest terms possible. This is unfortunate. This is a time when this country needs unity more than ever. Fighting terror needs a concerted effort that will unite this country more than divide it. I do not think that it is right for anyone to cast aspersions on Sen. Hassan or any other Member of this House for that matter. Leaders have every right to comment on any issue that touches ... view

It is a House where quite a number of its Members are not only old as described by our counterparts in the National ... view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I think there is something wrong with that part of the House today. I am sorry to say this because there seems to be constant confusion arising from either their mental absence or, probably, the lack of seriousness on the part of the Jubilee Government because they represent the Government. We are following a certain pattern or order in this House. Once you give your ruling on a matter, it is important for us to abide by it. It will save us a lot of time as the House to move on.
