• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I began by thanking the Speaker when he was on the seat, but we now have the Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Welcome back. We are happy to have you back. view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I have also read about the conference Hon. Millie has mentioned. I saw the programme. Possibly, the men who are here would be attending the evening session because it is important that we discharge national duties that have brought us here. Then after that, we can also go for those other secondary duties which we must also fulfil. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Regarding the Bill before us, it is also important that we look at the offences that are proposed to be introduced.

We had our reservations because in our view, the candidate was overly militarised and we felt that he may not have any qualifications regarding matters anti-corruption. Possibly, we ... view
