• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied with the answer given by the Assistant Minister. If the Chair so wishes, he can give a chance to another hon. Member. view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. As a matter of procedure, I notice that we have now gone beyond the time our sitting time. view
• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As a matter of record, and under Standing Order No.17, I raised the fact that nobody in the Government had arisen to seek for the extension of the sitting hours of the House after 6.30 p.m., and I raised the matter after 6.30 p.m. view
