• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to also support this very important amendment Bill by Hon. Tandaza to amend the Crops Act, 2019. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: As it has been said by many Members, this is a very important crop because of the high economic potential that it brings. The crop can be used in many things like flooring materials, cosmetics, shoe polish, ink, silk, medicinal and even food colouring. So, it is a crop which has high economic potential.
