• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: This is one of the decisions that the Committee really haggled over. We had a lot of soul-searching.

We also know that the position available for filling up at the JSC was one. Prof. Mango had retired. We now have two names here. We have the ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to debate on thanks to the President for the Speech given to this House at the end of last week. I want to talk about three things. First, I want to talk about the report given by the President as regards the realisation of national values and principles of governance.
