• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add that these procedures are very strict and commanders of all levels routinely carry out inspections of premises and areas within their command and no evidence whatsoever of a drug processing or packaging facility in the Base has been found. view

It was upon the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take it from there. But as far as the Ministry of State for Defence is concerned, we made it very clear that these allegations were false. No evidence was adduced by the person who made the report and, therefore, we dismissed it. We informed the Ministry responsible for communication with the complainant, who is the Head of Mission of the USA. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these were allegations. Obviously, it was contrary to diplomatic etiquette for a diplomat to make these false allegations. However, after investigations, we found more evidence. As far as we are concerned, the allegations against our bases had no credibility whatsoever. We still stand by that. We have even continued to check day after day and ensure that all the procedures of entering and leaving the base are strictly followed. We, therefore, dismiss the allegations by any other person. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, the Ministry that communicates with the foreign governments is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My colleague has information which I accept. view
