• 11 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this Motion, we have to remind ourselves of the inadequacies and the poor planning we have in this country. Housing is one of the parameters that are used to assess the development of a community. The human development moved from the caves to funny shelters to real houses.

I intend to visit that road very soon. view
