• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Minister is responding, could he tell us whether he is cognizant of the fact that this issue had been raised before and answered by the Minister of State for Public Service?

• 15 May 2012 in National Assembly: Secondly, could he inform the House whether they are aware that because of the purported seniority in terms of the current Regional Commissioners, District Commissioners and senior District Commissioners, there is already disquiet among those who feel that they are senior and were not considered and some who were not yet even confirmed DCs were put on the list? view
