• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, boards were missing in some corporations and yet a board is the highest decision-making body in any parastatal. How do you make decisions if the board is not in place? You will find that the management making decisions and yet there is no one to oversee it. In some situations, you will find that the chair of the board is there but there are no board members. So, you wonder who he or she is chairing. This is ridiculous. It seems like there is a conspiracy to loot and engage in corruption. We have seen many ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: This is for the purpose of being independent so that we do not go out there and rely on other people.

It is high time these parastatals subscribed to the internationally ... view
