• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment especially the addition of protection of indigenous knowledge and intellectual property rights.

• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is good. I am happy about these amendments.

• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with our Committee’s opposition to this amendment by the Senate.
