• 6 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments by the Members.

• 5 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, following a discussion I had with the Member, and I wish to thank him for having brought it to my attention earlier, I consulted with the KAA and they told me that they are looking into the matter.
