• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: I hope that people did not pocket our money. We live in a country where as people cry or suffer in the media, social media and functions, others might have struck deals to close that file. We might be sitting on a time bomb. This Committee must dig deep and find out what those agreements were all about, who did what and where in that time of history.
