The results yielded have seen several high-valued properties and buildings such as Air-Gate Mall, Nakumatt Ukay, Southern End Mall, among many others, demolished. This is an effort that we will support and agree that the rule of law in the construction of buildings must be followed and conservation of our environment must take priority.

• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: This matter is very urgent with many people standing to lose their shelter and habitat; there are thousands who right now are anxious since they do not know what is happening.

Would it be better if the guys were small? I know I am not as huge as I was, but I can still speak on behalf of them, together with Sen. Malalah. view
