• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most appreciated. It is good that we go by the timetable. This Petition is very crucial because it tries to give us the direction of what is urban planning and even how to make use of land as a facility. You realise that when urban development takes place, there are other factors that should be taken into consideration and they should expand proportionally to what urban development is taking place.

• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am very happy that you have recognised that I have done something for girls in this country.

This road was constructed in the 1960s before major towns came up. These towns have grown into huge shopping centres resulting in high population along the roads.
