But anyway, we will comply with all those guidelines that pertain to COVID-19. The Committee should report on the following: (i) The correlations between quantities of empty bottles and bottle cups supplied to or imported to the said firms and the amount of tax paid for the period. (ii) Whether the said firms and all their directors have been involved in tax evasion in the past and, if so, what action has been taken ... view

• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish there were shops for noses. I would have looked for a very narrow and smaller one. This big one is giving me problems because it demands so much air than the mask can give. I rise to second the Motion for the adoption of the fourth Report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on the amendments to the Standing Orders to facilitate the virtual sittings of the House and its Committees.
