• 12 May 2020 in Senate: that they were not sacked because they are incapable. It is because of other considerations which I may not know because I do not belong to that coalition. So, I encourage them to accept this. Sen. Orengo told us once that Governments and revolutions ‘eat’ their own. I was a victim. I was ‘eaten’ by my own at one point. So, I understand what it is. view
