• 10 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We thank you for the firm action you are taking because it is, indeed, frustrating to sit here when Questions can be asked and those asked cannot be answered. But could you also rule that we have these answers within 24 hours to 48 hours before the Question is asked, so that we do not have to come here and get bombarded with the answers that we cannot be able to interrogate adequately. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I seek your indulgence that you allow each one of us to speak for one minute so that we are able to carry on.
