• 31 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in ordinary circumstances even when an hon. Member does not report to duty in this august House for seven consecutive days, that hon.

Later on, the patrol base can be turned into a police post and then, to a fully fledged police station. So, it is not a police post. It is a patrol base. It is like a "cape of good town"! view
• 30 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that one will be upgraded very soon because the District July 30, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2223 Security Team had already recommended for the upgrading.
