• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The justification of the amendment is that I brought two Motions in the House before and the House passed the Motion on coconut and cashew nut that they be scheduled crops. That Motion was passed in the House and the advice the Members gave was that I bring it as a substantive amendment in the Bill. Because of that, there was general agreement in the House that we need to schedule coconut and cashew nut crops. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity and the advantage that we have this amendment that is being fronted by my brother, Hon. ... view

• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: So that we find favour to help the people at the Coast. The people of the Coast are the mass of this House today to ensure that we revive an ailing sector and open up the many factories that had been set up, but are now shut down.
