• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this very important Motion. It is important that we go back to our constituencies to work. We use one-third of our time debating in this House and the rest in helping our people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to touch on the issue of equity.

Is the Assistant Minister really in order to mislead this House by saying that there is equitable distribution of funds by his Ministry? view
