• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support. It is time that we constituted the two Sessional Committees. The ones we had have carried us through the previous months or a year and have done a good job. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Looking at the Senators we have in the Committees, going forward, I am sure they will do just as good a job as those who were there previously.
