• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I am trying to say that we should harmonise our operations in this country and we cannot give total freedom to an institution to control itself. We should have some institutions that can play an oversight role over the performance of that institution, the same way we play an oversight role over the Executive. view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I am saying that we should support this Bill, establish the Media Council and see how it works. We can amend the law later or repeal it if we feel that it is not working independently and purposely. view
