• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: First of all, I just want to confirm that I have agreed to all the amendments. As a result of that, there were consequential amendments.

• 16 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to suggest that this Motion be withdrawn, given the fact that the Cabinet in which I belong, the House Business Committee and even the Members of Parliament are divided?

If we are going to start that job and yet we are not agreeing, we will end up the way the 4166 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 16, 2008 Ninth Parliament ended. With those few remarks, I beg to second ... view
