• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not think his amendment takes into account--- I am concerned about an organization dealing with children’s rights in one of the amendments. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Given that the Minister is not opposed to my amendment, he can bring an amendment to increase the number; even the Chair himself can do so. Since the one on number is his amendment, the Minister can do that, because he is the one with the mandate to that. But the rest, I think is very clear. view
