• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The other thing is poor enforcement of traffic rules. We all know what motivates most traffic police officers and NTSA officers is not enforcement of traffic rules. It is how much money they will put in their pockets that day.

My prayer is that as we move to the 26th October election, let us work together. Let us avoid unnecessary suspicions. Let us pull towards the same direction as a country and let us not always look for small reasons and opportunities to be suspicious of each other. We have children to raise. We ... view
