• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Having looked at some of the provisions of this Bill, I am very sure that once it becomes an Act of Parliament, and if well implemented, it will be a milestone remembering that Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution defines the right to education as a basic right. For quite some time, this right has not been properly exercised as per Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution.

• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection: (i) whether he is aware that over 600 names and data of elderly persons in Tetu Constituency aged more than 70 years were omitted in the registration for the elderly persons under the Elderly Persons Cash Transfer Programme, and (ii) what measures the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the said elderly persons in Tetu Constituency are registered and paid their dues. view
