• 1 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir I want to thank the Minister for that comprehensive and very good answer. I would like to ask him to table the gazette notice otherwise, I have no further questions for him. Well done, Mr. Minister. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to propose a further amendment to the amendment. You will notice that Clause 18 is talking of “county governor” but we have not made any provisions for mayors; where mayors will be elected! view
