• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already spoken to the Minister for Finance. I saw him here. I am just waiting for him to give us the letter of waiver in order for us to clear the vehicles from the port. So, if the Minister gives us that view

So, what we encourage is that the local people should agree and sit down with their leader, who is the MP. The MP has categorically said yes. We are pursuing that. They have agreed to sit down and agree on what should be done and, whether the boundary will include those other locations or the boundary will not actually jump or consume the other locations. view
