• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to also apologise for not being here yesterday to answer this Question. I had some commitments elsewhere. I beg to reply.

• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My colleague, Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry, whom I respect has said that those who will oppose this Report are guilty. I thought we are here to debate the report, give the pros and cons and adopt it. Why is he intimidating hon. Members? Is he in order to do that? view
