• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have also personally been trying to find out how much money has gone to my county for El Niño .

The Ministry that was disbursing and the ones which were implementing are different. If it is infrastructure that was damaged, they were sending money to the Ministry Roads and Infrastructure. They are compiling the figures. A week is not too much to ask for. view

• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a parliamentary democracy and we must respect it. If a Member in this House is a Member of the Opposition and he has not formerly crossed the Floor to the Government side, he remains a Member of the Opposition, as per the records of the House.
