• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find that amusing. The police found somebody who had been murdered and refused to carry out a post-mortem simply because family members had asked to be given the body to burry. Did the police do the right thing? view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, electricity in this country is generated from Masinga. A big part of the water storage is also in Masinga. It is in my constituency.
