• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to agree with your direction that all these regulations are submitted to the House pursuant to the powers given to the IEBC. It is important when my colleagues are giving their concerns to refer to the specific sections. It will really help us to deal with them.
