• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: This is extremely important. I am happy that, as the Senate, we are willing to confront this issue. I request our colleagues in the National Assembly that we team up together and confront this issue. It must start with the leadership itself.

Although he is out of danger, we do not know how long it might take for him to recover. Only God and maybe his doctors know how long it will take for him to recover fully. Even though he is due for discharge, he still has problems with his head and brain because he might have had an internal bleeding. view
