• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: I am happy to rise up to contribute to the Statue Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill and say that in its current format, it is not acceptable and I oppose it fully.

Again, the Bill proposes to amend the Political Parties Act provisions relating to the appointment of the Registrar and the Assistant Registrar of Political Parties.
