• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to echo what Hon. Sankok had initially said. Reading sub-clause 330(a), the reasonable grounds to believe public collection managers are likely to be pursuing unlawful course or purpose to be prejudicial to the peace, welfare or good order of the public.
