• 19 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement on the demolition and eviction of squatters in Mavoko.

All these regulatory bodies that the national Government purports to want to formulate to be oversighted or to be controlled by the Permanent Secretaries, we must refrain from and discourage that.
