• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

Member clarify where this proposal appears, so that we can follow the amendments? Otherwise, it is impossible to contribute to the amendment. Even in the Act itself, I am not seeing any such proposed amendment. view
