• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, one of the things you may have noticed is that this is probably one of the longest amendment Bill we have brought to this House.

• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I just wanted to support what my colleagues have said. Initially, the tribunal was under the Attorney-General. Given that there are so many disputes in this area, some very complicated, we thought it was important that the members of the tribunal are appointed and the tribunal is under the jurisdiction of the Chief Justice.

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: them get that money. That money should be used to support youth activities. I am happy that in this year’s Budget, we have been told that the proceeds from betting will now be taken to the sports fund.

I am aware that the Ministry ... view
