• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to discuss the substance of a Question which was deferred yesterday because the Minister will have her time to answer it. But is she in order not to answer my question because of the local politics? Whether she wants to visit Bura or not, is not my business.
