• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This looks like a long Statement and so, it would take us three weeks. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, some of the questions he is asking are in public domain if that is the case. However, I do not want to answer because he has sought a Statement.

• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There were issues raised concerning the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. For example, the Bill that is attempting to amend the National Construction Authority (NCA) Act was to provide for a building code in this country. We do not have it yet. It means that when contractors are building, they may not even know about the code to be followed. Therefore, their assessment and monitoring becomes subjective. So, we want to give new power to the NCA, so that it can develop a building code. This will enable us avoid issues of marking houses later because they ... view
