• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Literary, if these amendments pass, as my colleagues have said, you will have opened a Pandora’s box of the so called historical land injustice, frivolous claims and generally, we are treading on dangerous grounds. I ask my friend, Hon. K.J. to forget about this issue. He should go and tell the sender that he was unable to deliver the message clearly and will can come back another day. view
