• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ideally, I would like to do that, but the Ministry of Information and communications is not a money giving Ministry. I will only implement what the Ministry of Finance has approved. view

If the project is supported by this House, then the monies come for implementation. If it is not supported by this House, then it goes back to the Treasury. I do not keep that money because I have nothing to implement. view
