• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: (d) What steps is the Minister taking to rectify the anomalies and to ensure that the public corporation is run professionally and prudently? view
• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I appreciate the answer given by the Assistant Minister, I have this question to put across.
