• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, the other controversy has been that hon. Members have been members of committees. This time round, Members of Parliament will not be members of committees but projects approved by this committee will still need to be approved by the National Assembly. Hon.

• 11 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that the CHE has a resource centre, where a database is available.
