• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that the two good professors in the Ministry of Education happen to have forgotten summary on their way to getting professorships. The answer is very verbose and it misses the whole point. So, maybe, just to help the good professor, I will just ask him a simple thing. He said that they will study the Department's personnel problems in order for them to address the apparent anomalies. When will you do so? Maybe, that is more simple. He can now give a clearer answer. view

• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister is now saying what they intend to do. What we are now discussing here is the loss of our dear Ministers. So, it is like closing the barn after the horse has gone. What we want him to tell us in his Ministerial Statement should be related to the demise of our colleagues and not all these technical data that he is trying to give us. view
• 25 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member who was on the Floor was trying to convince us that a lot of work went into this. But I do not see the difficulty in taking a figure and dividing it by two. That is the work that went in. view
• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this debate on the Budget. I would like to commend the Minister for Finance for having worked through a very difficult period, with the downturn in the economy after the post- election violence to actually come up with a Budget that attempts to bring better returns to this country.
