• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We can never have a free and fair election in this country, unless all the people who are entitled to vote have identification cards and are given an opportunity to register as voters.

I believe that because of the importance of elections, my Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights which is charged with ... view
