• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been in that Chair when my distinguished and very good friend, a daughter who is married in my county and we get along very well, spoke. She said that that money will remain there and will be given to other women. She was challenged to tell us who are the other women and there were none. There were none!

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: quartet. The judge hearing the case is summoned before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and reprimanded, warned and suspended. Once he is suspended, the case goes to another judge because it does not die because the judge has been suspended. If the judge who will pick Sen. (Dr.) Milgo’s file will remember the fate of the judge who handled it earlier, will Sen. (Dr.) Milgo get justice? Never! view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: Americans say: “If it is working, do not fix it.” The JSC is working. We have seen judges being dealt with under the JSC. I personally have reported judges who have taken bribes and have gone there and testified. There are many others who have done so and it is working.
