• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The press has always claimed that we muzzle it whenever we try to register or to legislate any law that governs their conduct. Fortunately, some of us have been on their defence to have that democracy. This means that the democracy has been extended too much and they have written too much.

• 26 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for being very honest and candid about the matter.
