• 10 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the good Senator and Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Lands and Natural Resources is a very experienced member of this House.

• 10 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry I have to take you back or even apologise on behalf of other chairs. Members will confirm that I always have answers. I have Sen.

• 10 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think Sen. (Dr.) Zani has understood what I was saying. I was just asking for permission to give response to statements requested by Senators who are present in the House; as I currently am also present in the House.
