• 8 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: to make these funds available and have the same amount reduced in the next financial year for this vote. So, this is a straightforward issue of additions and subtractions for the financial years 2016/2017 and 2017/2018. It is also straightforward for purposes of discussions.

• 8 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The sympathy of the Speaker is very powerful, it has the weight of law.

• 8 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure you have done a careful reading of this proposed amendment. If you allow me, I would read it again.

The law will come into force at some point but we have a National ... view
