• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am shocked by the allegations made by Members of the Back Bench. I am shocked because this is the most hardworking Executive in the history--- view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the most hardworking Executive since the history of this Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Members of the Executive and Ministers are sacrificing a lot of their time to carry out Government business. They are Ministers 24 hours and they are performing their duties well and the relationship between Ministers and Assistant Ministers is good. If there is a problem, I think we should not generalize. If you look at the answers, because the hon. Members have said that they are not satisfactory--- I would like somebody to check this in the HANSARD. If you look ... view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I was saying is that if you look at the records--- view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that if we go by records and look at the number of Questions that have either been deferred or even referred to a committee because they were unsatisfactory, they are very few.

In fact, it is the paper that was printed which was marked “draft.” The purpose was purely administrative. It is to avoid a case where we have two sets of Printed Estimates, like it happened last year. We can have one and then after consultations we have another one. view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not subjecting our Constitution to other laws. What I am saying is that if you actually remove the word “draft,” it actually complies with the Constitution. But this was purely for administrative reasons, so that after consultations, when we make changes – because changes will be there – then we do not have two sets, like what happened.

• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the House to treat the Estimates of Revenue that I submitted as the first publication of Estimates of Revenue, but they could change. view
