• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, let me start by saying that emergencies are emergencies. Of course, the world is dynamic.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am equally concerned with the consultations that are taking place. It appears that it is another meeting and yet we are busy on this Bill.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I understand why the Minister may be making those comments, it is also good for us to realize that some of the information which actually leaks, is for the benefit of the public. While we appreciate why we may have to safeguard, I think it is for the better good that we also do not pin down the person who is found with the information. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not support hon. Githae. view
