• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to support the Report of the Committee and condemn the vice of fraud and mismanagement of the youth fund. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Fund was not there in the previous governments. The Fund was created after realising that the youth, women and people with disabilities were vulnerable and needed to be assisted. The youth population in this country is the highest and they are the most unemployed. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I join Members in supporting this very important Bill; the Public Benefits Organisations (Amendment) Bill. Those organisations have been of great use to the community.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. They target vulnerable people who are really suffering in our communities.

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute and support this Report of the Mediation Committee on the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill.
