• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said there have been politicians on the ground. Even as we talk, there are politicians who are inciting people on the ground. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be happy to confirm that the evictions that are taking place are aimed at repossession of strategic installations and flushing out people who have invaded public land; they have nothing to do with politics of the past or of the future.

I am not sure when this Parliament began to be the defender of criminals who grab public assets and then all we can do here is concentrate on why we should be protecting those who have taken public assets instead of safe guarding the public asset from being taken, in the first instance. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support that proposal especially now that the two Committees will have a joint operation on this matter and report to us. view
