• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Education does not arrest and charge citizens, but we work in conjunction with the relevant Ministry.

• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the money is being disbursed countrywide. So, it is hard for me to say specifically when each school or district will receive its money. All the District Education Officers (DEOs) have received co-ordinating money to supervise the implementation. So, the work is expected to go well and on time. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the hon. Member that, that project has been going on. This, indeed, is the third year.
