• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Fair enough. If it is the Cabinet Secretary then I support the amendment. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also want to oppose the amendment. The right to privacy is by and large in respect of a private place. A public place for manufacturing, like an industry, is not a private place. I do not think the Constitution protects factories and industries.

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is an open secret that the stakeholders from the industry have been camping out there.

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Is that unparliamentary, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, could you allow the Minister to say a word? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I withdraw the words “arm twisting” and I will use the word “pressure” instead, which basically is very parliamentary. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Can I finish now, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir? view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I will want to leave this process of setting the regulations to the doctors and other professionals in the Ministry. These are the experts who work for us. They do not work for anybody else other than taxpayers of this country, just like many other Ministries do. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
