• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, I will just take a minute, so do not leave. I thank the Members for the contributions they have made to this Budget Policy Statement (BPS).

Members, most of you have agreed that we must find a way of getting rid of this issue of being a conveyor belt. We must try to do something to make sure that we make some changes when ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for forewarning the House about my short intervention.

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: in the last two years as you move on to the last stretch. I ask Members to go out there and remember that this country needs all of us. This country is bleeding. It belongs to all of us and each of us can play our little role in making sure that we stay united, as one country. I keep saying that this Government is doing a lot of very good things. However, nobody sees any of those anymore. Everybody only sees insecurity, terrorism, corruption and all the other negative things. However, when we take a minute and look at ... view

• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: elephant in the room that has completely overshadowed all the other good things that the President talked about.
