We are ready to move on and finish this Bill. We do not have enough time to wait because the public is waiting for us to pass this Bill. We should proceed, telling from the mood of the House. I think you can see the mood of the House. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support the Chair and the Committee for a job well done. It is very important. We are used to companies coming to our areas and just giving out some handouts and pretending that they are doing some social corporate responsibility. This social responsible investment is more sustainable to the community. It is a job well done and congratulations. view
