• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to add my voice to this Statement because it is something that involves our young people. I thank Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this Statement regarding the ban on importing used car spare parts. We all know the challenges we face as a nation.

• 22 May 2019 in Senate: About one and a half years ago, there was a ban on logging. We do not advocate for that but you can imagine the number of families who had invested huge sums of money in that business but nobody had prepared them in advance. Right now, those families are suffering. The people who used to be employed are not employed anymore and they do not earn any salary. That is why the number of young people who commit suicide in our nation has increased. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Demolition of some structures in our country is done without proper planning. Many families that used to depend on businesses carried out in those buildings are now hopeless. Some of them are depressed and even hospitalized. Others are suffering from high blood pressure, depression, diabetes and so on and so forth. It seems that we do not care about our people. Now there is a looming ban on importing used car spare parts. We should be aware of the number of people who depend on this type of work because many people also depend on them. If we go on ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Our young people are very innovative and hardworking. We know very well that many of them have borrowed loans and they are servicing them.

• 22 May 2019 in Senate: As I support this Statement, it is my prayer that the policy will not be affected for the sake of our young people and families who depend on the business because people have borrowed loans. We need to be careful. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: We are already complaining about the number of young people who commit suicide in our nation. If we are not careful, that number will increase because we will have increased the poverty level of our people and the frustrations that people go through in order to feed their families. Therefore, I hope we will be tough enough to take all the necessary steps and give it the attention that it deserves. view
