• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I would like to thank you for the two communications. First of all, on the CRA issue, we play a very critical role as the Senate in ensuring that equity is achieved in our country and many Senators here are particularly concerned on the issue of marginalized areas vis-à-vis marginalized communities and the question of allocation of resources on the basis of marginalization and the Equalisation Fund. That is an issue that we debated in the last Parliament for the five years and, therefore, Senators must take the meeting that has been convened seriously. ... view

Whether they were of good mental status or not, it can never be a defence or a basis for someone to say in court that “we killed them ... view
