• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell us how much of the company is owned by the Government? Secondly, could he also tell us to what extent is this indebtedness so that we can know whether the Government can undertake to guarantee the bank if the company is indeed owned by the public? view

• 1 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of GJLOS, this is a matter of November 1, 206 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3333 fundamental importance and we have to make reference to the Constitution of this country. Section 99(1) of the Constitution is very clear. I seek the indulgence of the Chair on this matter.
