• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: There is no Member of Parliament who has served in the Budget and Appropriations Committee longer than I have.

• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Is the Leader of the Majority Party in order to impute improper motive on other MPs? We all know that MPs contribute to different sections of Bills as and when they are available.
