As a result, there have been serious demonstrations and counter-demonstrations which have become violent, leading to attempts to destroy public property by the demonstrators. This is an ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: efforts of national cohesion and integration. I intend to move a Motion for Adjournment to discuss this very serious matter. I handed over my request this morning to your office, through the Office of the Clerk but, up to now, I have not received a conclusive response from your Office.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: This is a very important Bill. Indeed, it could not have come at a better time.
