• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a good question. This matter has been debated in the sub-committee today. The sub-committee of the Cabinet has approved that it goes forward to the main Cabinet. I am almost sure that this matter will be discussed in the next Cabinet meeting and, therefore, Members of Parliament will have an opportunity to debate this draft Bill here pretty shortly. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already covered this part of the question that the Government does not compensate in a matter that is of confrontational nature such as this.

• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since most of my colleagues in Government who have spoken on this Bill have agreed that it is the right Bill to come at this time, so, on behalf of the Government, I would like to make it very clear.

This is a very weighty matter and following your advice to consult my colleagues, we went ahead and formed an inter-ministerial committee involving the Ministry of Roads, the Ministry of Lands, Ministry of Transport and my own Ministry.

Indeed, we formed that and we have been meeting. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I ... view
• 28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you but I want to say that the Government has not broken the law. The Ministry of Roads is not constructing the road through the national park. There was intention to do so but as I say, we realize and as the Questioner realizes too, this is a matter that involves the transport system within our city.
