• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: It just came out. My head is too big, but it is okay. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me repeat this; a wise man said that only a fool does not change his mind. I have listened to Sen. Linturi trying to point out how Sen. Malalah is out of order, yet we are not discussing the substance of the matter. I think he can either support or oppose when we are discussing the Motion.

Article 179 says that the executive authority is vested and exercised by an executive committee. Unless this Committee, which is ... view
