• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is a big difference between ‘communication’ and ‘effective communication’. I want to put it on record today--- view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have not received any call from either a Committee Clerk or hon. Kamanda or any written notice requiring me to appear before the Committee. The whole morning I have been sitting at the Committee on Energy and at the Public Investments Committee (PIC). I have not received any communication.

It is not in order. Let him explain ... view
