• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one way of making that nomadic education policy a success is to ensure that there are teachers in the classrooms. Could the Minister clarify the policy? I am aware that those teachers who get out of the teaching profession naturally or either through death or natural attrition are immediately given a pay advice casualty.

• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this is the saddest day in my stay in this House. One of the cardinal roles of Parliament is the watchdog role.
