• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are doing exactly the same. We have engaged our lawyer to propose amendments in order for us to levy a capital offence on those who misuse firearms.

When the bus stopped, those two criminals came out of the bus firing at ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known the gentleman for a long time. He has never protected any criminals and I do not think he will protect any criminals.

• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not make that kind of statement. If I made it in the course of answering this Question, then I apologize. I want to lay on the Table some evidence here. I have evidence of two barretta pistols that were recovered and a large number of ammunitions to show that those fellows were actually criminals.
