• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, we only need to table a report. We carried out all the stages including pre-publication and public participation. It is only the report that remains to be tabled. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for record purposes, I did not say that I have tabled the report.
