• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we need to offer a good package to the Judiciary in order to encourage people in the private sector to join it. Times might be hard, but anybody doing business in this town with court cases is stuck because we do not have enough judges and magistrates. People have refused to join the Judiciary. It would only be fair this time. Times might be hard, but on the other side of the coin, let us encourage people to join the Judiciary. I wish to oppose the deletion. view
• 25 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to bring it to your attention that some time back in one of the Bills such an amendment was brought to the House and Mr. Musila stood and objected.

But once they get the cake, they make sure that the people who benefit are themselves and those in their age brackets.
