Despite the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Tourism is an industry in this country which we tend to ignore.

• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Education is the backbone of our human resource development. We have had problems, especially when it comes to the issuance of bursaries to our school students.

In essence, as the Chairman has said, we found that most of the amendments were enhancing the Bill and others were just adding some semantics. As far as Clause 165 is concerned, despite protracted debate on it, we came to a consensus that we should agree with the Senate. I believe the Bill now is in order and it can be passed. I beg to support. view
• 26 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.
