• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am not only an old Member but I was also the Chairman of the Committee.

Can the Leader of Majority Party tell us whether the Jubilee Government is going to follow the procedure of telling the country what they want to do with the money?
