• 3 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, the issue with the HELB is the problem of the recoverability of the loans. The solution lies in compelling all employers, not just those who are in the public sector but also in the private sector, to treat the recovery of HELB loans as part and parcel of statutorily deductions. If, indeed, every employer, when employing somebody, had a section in their contract that says that if this person has a loan, it must be statutory deducted, that would solve the problem of money not being paid back to the HELB.

• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was speaking in the "conditional". I said "if". If the hon. Member followed what I said - and he can refer to the HANSARD - my sentence began with "if". It is a "conditional".

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me turn to the Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA). ... view

• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Oparanya is responding to the Assistant Minister's response. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to continue discussing with his colleagues, when he should be listening to the hon. Member? view
• 19 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for arriving late, but I got the tail end of the Assistant Minister's Ministerial Statement, for which we are grateful. All that I would urge the Assistant Minister is that those investigations should be expeditiously carried out, especially after incidents like this one, which tarnish the name of the country locally and abroad. view
