• 9 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Unfortunately, the rules of debate of the House do not allow somebody who has been on the Chair to debate a matter including his rulings outside the House. I am of the perfect opinion that if I had that provision, this debate would have been concluded way earlier.

Part "b" of the Questions says:- "Is the Minister further aware that, as a result of the big discrepancies in the salaries of teachers vis-a-vis those of mainstream Government employees, many teachers are moving to other sectors of employment and thereby impacting negatively on the teaching profession".
