• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: the precincts of Parliament. It is important to note that we are making major decisions at the committee level which will then be brought to the House for ratification.

If you can come to your office, conduct business and go ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to reply. I thank Members not just for their contributions. Indeed, when we are in most of these Procedural Motions, you do not expect the detail and the depth of discussion that we have had this afternoon. I wish we could, when we come back, get to engage deeper on this matter of COVID-19. Several suggestions have come and, hence, they can then be put within a framework of a structured Motion that then gets actioned on. Nevertheless, the matter is on Hansard and those who need to hear, we will ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I will be asking for another half an hour of the Private Members’ time to prosecute business that would not ordinarily come on Thursday morning, but would have come on Thursday afternoon, purely for convenience of the House.
