• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you made your ruling on this matter and I stand by it. However, I want to bring to the attention of the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources that there are provisions in the Constitution, particularly Article 125(1) which gives him the powers to get information and summon Cabinet Secretaries.

Otherwise, we will take sanctions on the Committee for failing to perform their duties. view
