We are making every effort to increase the number of those machines, so that they are available for use when they are needed.

• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you. It is really off the Question. However, I would like to inform the hon. Member that we have plans to make the Outering Road a duo carriage way. Discussions with a co-financier are at an advanced stage. view

However, I will check whether the whole amount was issued to us. My suspicion, which I think is right, is that, that was the total issue from the Exchequer. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may be, hon. Imanyara wanted to give you a break. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to, in any way, deny hon. Members information, because I am in a public office. view
