26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with maximum respect to the Chair, probably, if you allowed me to conclude my remarks, then you will make a more informed decision. This is not personal. As you know, I am a man of many letters. So, I have no limitations.

25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Petition and I oppose the intention to create the project where it is. That is because it was not well thought out.

25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support the further amendment because the roles of the Senate and National Assembly are clearly defined. We know for a fact that it is only the National Assembly that can discharge this kind of role. So, if we leave it the way it is, obviously, we will run into constitutional problems.

Mr. Chairman, Sir, further to this, I want to propose that elsewhere in this Bill, where the word “Parliament” exists for purposes of approval, it should be replaced with the words “National Assembly.”
