Mr. Speaker, Sir, on my part, I have always taken my responsibilities to the august House seriously. Indeed, I have always notified the Speaker, through the Clerk of the National and the Leader of Government Business, of my absence. I have always ... view
• 15 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I want the record to be put straight.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to correct what Mr. Sirma said. I was going to be away and, in fact, right now I am supposed to be in Geneva, but--- view
