• 2 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we check in the records, I requested for these statements in early April and the Chairman undertook to respond in two weeks. It is now over two months. This excuse of, “the statements have not been signed” has been there I think the four times that the statement has come up. The Chairman has always said that the statement was ready but not signed.
