• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment by the Chair of the Committee. But we must look at affordable housing from a… Hon. Chair, please protect me from this distraction. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: As I support this, we must look at it from a wider point of view. Most of those affordable houses are being developed in urban areas. We will have a situation where people in urban areas can afford houses, while those in rural areas are unable to build.
