• 29 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support and ride on the sentiments that have been expressed by colleagues.

This money is available throughout ... view

I believe that the petitioner has the goodwill and the interest of the country more specifically, because the wage bill is a topical issue ... view
