• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was just trying to draw her attention to her own amendment. view

• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, actually, it is me who did it and not hon. Ethuro. Give credit where it is due. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Chair’s is withdrawn and mine is carried. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it cannot go like that, because already in an earlier amendment, we had amended “Senate Committee” to “Parliamentary Committee.” If we now take it to the Joint Committee again, we will be going back.

We are just saying that the contractor, for the 30 per cent of the projects, lets the owners be the youth. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think there is a confusion which we need to clarify. This is not a grant!
