• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Report on the Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill has been tabled. I know there are quite a number of Members who are interested because it touches on them. There is no Member without a market or urban centre in his or her constituency. Therefore, I want to urge Members who are interested to quickly go to the Table Office and pick the Report. I hope the officers there have made enough copies.
