• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I did not get a chance to contribute during the First Supplementary Budget, but I have to mention a few things as I go for recess.

The money that has been put in the Supplementary Budget is meant for the repeat election of the presidential elections after the invalidation by the Supreme Court. view
