22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly:
By 1999, Parliament was a Department of the Office of the President in the Executive. Staff used to be employed, deployed, transferred and fired at the whims of the Executive.

As a matter of fact, Members used to eagerly wait to see the Land Rover ferrying ...

Through the commissioners, it will be approved by this House and we will deal with that matter. It is very shameful that Parliament spends time overseeing other organs and making laws for other commissions but, when it comes to its own law, we either seem not to be interested or ...
