• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just concerned that the Member of Parliament has said more than twice that the Committee is hiding something. This was an open interview, with the media and members of the public present.

• 11 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek your indulgence in the matter of the petition on Charter House Bank. On 14th October, 2010, I sought extension of time for 30 days and we got an extension of a shorter period.

• 10 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have held a few discussions with the Minister. I think this will be going against the spirit of the Constitution. Parliament is vetting all public officers and this is one of them. This is a key institution.
