• 5 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we resume, there must be clarifications on the issues of Bills. When Government originates Bills, they can send ten to the National Assembly and ten to the Senate so that the National Assembly are debating some, we are also debating some.

• 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: I will second and the other Members can make their contributions. In seconding this Motion, I would like to say that this is a very important Fund.
