• 4 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Government, we are looking into all those issues. We are trying to improve governance in the area of tendering. As you are aware, we have the new procurement law. But while we are doing that and liaising within the Government, because some of those issues belong to different Ministries, I would also like to ask the locals to remove the idea of local self interest which, coupled with interest from some of the stakeholders on our side, is complicating the equation. Let us work together and ensure that the court is built. view

• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this very important Bill. It is to be remembered that this is a culmination of a long journey, searching for a statutory framework within which the Press can self-regulate.

• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: I rise in support of the Motion and I want to say this: For those who are lamenting that the Government is spending too much, it is important that we understand what Government spending entails.

• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this Bill. May I begin by commending the Minister for bringing this very innovative Bill. Like has been said, it does introduce the idea of decentralization in planning and implementation.
