• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I wish to support Mr. Ekwee Ethuro. I want to just narrate a practical situation whereby somebody has been conned by nomination. Somebody gave money and his nomination was stolen. Then that person has gone to become an independent candidate. Then that person needs to be nominated by voters and those voters had joined parties.
