• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also contribute to this important Motion. The Pan-African Parliament (PAP) which is also called the African Parliament has the ultimate aim to be a full Parliament with full legislative powers to oversight the African Union (AU) and also to facilitate the various policies, treaties and programmes across Africa.

They are the ones allowing illicit brew business to flourish, especially in border point towns like Luanda Market.

It is a traditional drink that Sen. Wakoli and my big brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, understand. Our people consume busaa during celebrations and functions.
