• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think this thing has been coming up very many times. Yesterday, if you can remember, I brought up this matter and the Chairman of the Committee was present and he gave a commitment.

Now, it is about four weeks and we are going to the fifth week. The matter was on illegal importation of sugar and it is hurting our farmers so badly. I really need that answer so that I know what I will tell my people. view

• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives on the excess and illegal importation of sugar into the country and the stock piles that are currently responsible for the lax in the sales of local products and the attendant delay in payment of farmers. view
