• 28 Sep 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. Before I go far, I want to appreciate the effort of the sponsor, Sen. Dullo, for thinking and being a visionary leader. The situation that we are in today deserves that and calls for that quick action.

• 27 Sep 2017 in Senate: So, it is important for us to discuss these issues now and also tell our colleagues on the other side.

A lot of destruction took place even at that time and, at the end of the day, they succeeded. As one of the legislators today, I think that is where we failed and we gave in.
