• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I want to thank Hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. Clearly, everyone supported it. I have noted the comments on regional and ethnic balance.

• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. I have limited time. In the Report, I have seen what the Committee calls value carriers.

• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, WTO sought to come up with an agreement among the countries to see how we can shorten this process to reduce the number of forms one is required to fill or items required; in short, to facilitate trade among different countries.
