• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, I am happy with the President’s presentation that his Government is going to be open and transparent. For a government to be open and transparent, it must believe in the spirit of public participation. We have seen some decisions being made in this new Government which are not guided by the spirit of public participation. An example is the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and many other issues. view
