• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to oppose this amendment. The reason is on what is being deleted. It is a proposal in Section 2 to insert the words “an officer of the national adoption society” immediately after the words “labour officer”.

• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Education was thinking about six years instead of five years. The challenge with this is the second term is not automatic. When it is not automatic, if you do three years, then you are shown the door, you have done zero.
