Indeed, when I came to this House, there are certain Bills that I had a very specific interest in; that I actually thought I would even bring myself. This is one of the Bills that I thought, if time allowed, I would have brought myself. I think hon. Gitobu Imanyara picked words from my head. I largely concur with what he said.

• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. Mr. Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to ask that this Question be deferred to next week, so that the Assistant Minister can come back better prepared, as I am? view
• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in relation to the Statement that hon. Shakeel has sought, there is a law that we passed in this House last week which obligates the Government to clear the water hyacinth within six months. So, in the response, could the Minister indicate what the Government will do to ensure that the provisions of that law, the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Authority (ALFA) Bill or now the ALFA Act, if it has been assented to are complied with? view
