• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not know whether the matter has been overtaken by events but I would like to be on record as having opposed the amendment proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party through the Whip.

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: No. This is where the problem lies. It lies in the wording of “following approval of the development plan”. Let me explain the spirit behind the Constitution under Article 71. It requires that deals made between proponents of projects and the Government that are large and with many consequences--- Sometimes those deals commit the country into tax waivers and the details or the nitty-gritty are brought to the House so that we avoid opaqueness and promote transparency.
