• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the design of the additional pan will be ready by January.

It can only collect water when the rains come in March. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by end of January. The designs will be ready and we have the money. Therefore, it is just to go and do the work. I think that is what I have told the hon. Member. view
