• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a different matter but on that one of the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, I know that on the Government side sometimes some Members help to look for others; could I volunteer to look for the Chairman for the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, at least in the course of today, so that he can give an undertaking to the House? view

• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was committed to the Minister for Energy, and that has been the position; it has not changed. view
