• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: I propose that the following words after the words, “22 per cent” be added:- “which shall be deposited into a special bank account to be called the Constituency Roads Fund” Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the justification of this is that once the Minister has allocated the 22 per cent, he has not specified where the money will be kept.

This is, therefore, just a reminder to the Minister that we had agreed and that a special account should be made and signatories will follow in subsequent amendments. view

I thought I was very clear. If the regional manager of ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, who is a very good friend of mine, knows the devil is in the details. We made agreements and asked him to come back to us with the amendments.

More importantly, as a Member of this House, I have the right to raise issues on a particular matter. So, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for ... view
