• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, although he is a bit evasive. The weather conditions, the climate in the country and everywhere in the world, are quickly becoming unfavourable for human and plant survival. I think the urgency of revising the policy cannot be overemphasised. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The Assistant Minister is saying that they are taking action to strengthen the implementation of the various provisions of EMCA.

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister is avoiding both my question and Dr. Otichilo's. Could he be specific: Has there been any attempt to revise the policy? If there is such an attempt, when will that revision of the policy be completed? view

• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. It is candid.

That is a shortage of three teachers per primary school and three teachers per secondary school. That explains the poor results in that district. view
