• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my point of order is on the issue of relevance. How is the fact that somebody is in the army relevant to execution? The one execution that is perfected around the world in procurement is actually military procurement. We cannot say that the military is not relevant. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the censure Motion that was brought to the House by Sen. Orengo. I associate myself with the contents of the Motion. As much as the censure Motions are not necessarily binding as a vote of no confidence, it nonetheless gives us an opportunity on behalf of the people of this country to criticize or point out some of the injustices or lack of accountability by most of our Cabinet Secretaries who stand the Committees of the Senate on various occasions. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, while I respect the fact that Sen. Sakaja is trying to insist that the Censure Motion is binding, the truth is that it is not binding.

• 22 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether the Members are in order to insinuate that the Committee is not doing its job even the Committee of the Whole House was snubbed. Is it that the Ministers called the House as well? It is not fair to say that they were called when the Committee of the Whole was not honoured at all. Having said that, we are here as the Committee Members and we attest to the fact that we have done our very best and the fact that the Committee of the Whole ... view
