• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill has brought to the Floor some of the issues we need to discuss as a country. I am happy that in discussing this Bill, what has come out is the fact that we need to sit down as a country and deal with minimum reforms we require to ensure that we go to the elections next time prepared, and in a manner that will meet the standards required by the country.

• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this particular Bill is very important, and the Clause by Hon.
