• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on the Anti-Doping Bill. This Bill is long overdue.

It is unethical to use enhancing substances to perform because sport in itself will lose meaning. There will be no purpose of sports where one uses enhancing substances to win. This Bill will protect the health of our sportsmen. I will touch on some of ... view
