• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish I had caught your eye earlier when the Notice of Motion for the Parliamentary Service Commission Report was given. We have now received a copy of the report which is relying on the PriceWaterHouseCoopers consultancy for selecting the candidates. I am just seeking your directions because I think the executive summary of PriceWaterHouse Report should have been annexed to guide the hon. Members. I notice the debate is slated for later today and I seek your guidance and direction as an hon. Member. Executive summary of the report of PriceWaterHouseCoopers will enable a meaningful participation ... view
• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment, but it is a double edged sword that those with money can ask their agents to note who are voting for them and pay them afterwards.

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Assistant Minister for that answer, some of these suspects were known to the deceased. Now that one of them has been arrested and was arraigned in court, what are the police doing to use the available information and whatever leads they can get from him to make sure that all the other suspects are arrested? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for, at least, that one suspect who was arrested, I will go back to the issue of technology. Without spelling out how he should go about it so that we do not warn the criminals to know, could he undertake that he will use modern technology, and if he needs us to spell it out to him, we can do so privately in this House, so that he causes the arrest of the three suspects who are at large?
