I also would like the Minister to consider the possibility of giving us a temporary officer in Emuhanya, so that the people of Emuhaya can have the registration of births and deaths at Emuhaya probably ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to consider whether we could have the district commissioners offices being part and parcel of the process.
