Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first and foremost, thank the Mover for bringing this Motion to the House. As you realise, in the Motion, there are several protocols which this country need to ratify and sign.

• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not a point of order. The Assistant Minister himself does not even understand that there is no process in ratifying a protocol. I am an international negotiator and I know how protocols are ratified. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the third point about good governance and democracy is political pluralism.

That is because we will be in a position to push it with the international community. The ... view

• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This was a Watergate-type break-in. So, I would like to urge the Government to ensure that proper investigations are carried out, the culprits found and appropriate action taken.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view

As leaders, we should not go in the direction of whipping up tribal emotions. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that the NARC Government came to power on the platform of creating unity and ... view
