• 7 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry that once again, I must ask for your indulgence. This time round, I am really ambushed because I was not in the House yesterday afternoon. I was out of town. I did not realise that there was a commitment by the Assistant Minister, for the Minister to answer the Question this morning whereas he is not here. May I plead with you that we hold the Question until the end of Question Time? The Minister is likely to be here by that time. I am going to make efforts to call him. view

• 4 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is time we considered farming as serious business. To do that, we need to upgrade the system of land tenure. We must mechanise our farming and the growing of cotton. For a long time, because of culture, there has been a system of land inheritance. You find someone who had 100 acres of land some 50 years ago cannot make use of that land because of sub-diving it into pieces for his sons. Today, most people own less than 10 to 15 acres.
