• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First, I would like to thank Dr. Otichilo for introducing this Bill at this time when the world is experiencing a lot of climate changes. Climate change is a reality, but many of us are taking is casually.

That is a month ago. Today he is saying that the process is on-going. How long will it take and which day of this month will the cheque be ready for the family to collect? view
