If we just fix prices and ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: The other issue bedevilling our agriculture is actually the cartels. Sugar, coffee and tea sub-sectors are full of cartels.

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in support of the annulment of these regulations.
