• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: he was a bit committed, he is not present this afternoon. On that Statement also, I expected two more clarifications, if you allow me. It was in the Statement that you approved. It was to clarify whether the order to bar the former Prime Minister from accessing the VIP facilities came from the Secretary to the Cabinet. Finally, if it is Government policy to deny use of VIP facilities to former senior State officers and if this will be applied to former presidents, the two we have in the country and former vice- presidents, now that we have three of ... view
