• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue was transferred to the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing. We wrote a letter and copied it to the Clerk and the Question was re-directed. view
• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, we promised that we were going to take action within the Government.

• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just giving the background. I want to conclude by saying that the Ministry even drafted a Bill. We support Hon.
