• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I was seeking clarification from hon. (Dr.) Shaban.

Speaker, are the issues this House is addressing being addressed at the same time by the Senate? How are you going to resolve that with the leadership of the Senate? view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Committee Report on the appointment of Gen. Kameru.

• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to say that with the nomination and the possible approval of Major-General Kameru, we will see a new face of National Intelligence Service (NIS).

• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I support. view
