• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, which particular part is wrong? I said “like a cattle rustler”. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I did not call anyone a cattle rustler. I said like--- view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Being the Member for rural Gem, the only gift we have is English. If it is offending you that my English is not understood, I withdraw and apologise. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not know that everybody had to speak today. Being on a point of order does not mean that something is out of order. Since we are on this topic, so much time has been lost in the hullaballoo of CDF.
