• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to air my views on this very important Motion. First and foremost, I stand to support this Motion simply because it is one way in which we can increase the revenue of this country. We may have the pros and cons of any development agenda we bring to this House. There are times we look at various ways of developing this country.
