• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I need to understand because I am a little bit confused.

• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I am saying that he has indicated that under Clause 21(b) we remove the word “modified” and substitute therefor the word “varied”. Is it not the same thing just to remove the word “modified” and put “varied” in subclause 8? view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, he says that they do not mean the same thing. view

There are no incinerators in these hospitals and they are disposing of waste. We had an opportunity to visit Dandora Dumpsite.
