• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the first issue is on the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. Last week, I raised a matter of serious national importance that touches on the integrity of national examinations. I was then advised by the presiding Speaker to seek leave of the House to move a Motion for Adjournment that afternoon, so that we could discuss the matter.

• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please indulge me for just one minute. I have attempted to make informal contacts with the Committee. I am raising this because it is a matter which cannot wait the normal process because examinations are going on. Before I conclude, the second issue is that as we sit here, more than 250,000 teachers of this country have gone without pay for the month of September.
