• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the matter which has been raised is very serious. It is also in public interest. Given the fact that we are about to go on recess - and without anticipating the business of the House, we know we will be engaged so much on the Estimates – I am requesting that we are given some flexible time of at least 60 days so that we can report substantively. view

• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: determining the framework of paying the farmers for the losses incurred. Therefore, once such a structure is in place, food security will be assured under the Big Four Agenda. On top of that, the Government should invest in storage through the PPP. There is no need of producing so much and yet we cannot store for future use. The main problem is when the country faces drought. There is no food because we did not store enough. On industrialisation, a country like Ethiopia is overtaking us because they have simplified the way investors are attracted to their country. The President ... view
