• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will make some very brief remarks. First of all, I want to congratulate the mover of this Bill, Dr. Monda. This is a very important Bill for this country. In fact, the reality is that it is long overdue. Nevertheless, the fact that it is now before us, I think it deserves our support. In fact, it is also a surprise that when there is such an important Bill, there is very little attendance in Parliament. Be that as it may, I think let us move ahead and support the Bill. One of the ... view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to seek your guidance because I responded to this Question and even tabled the contract document.
