• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion as amended.

Another thing is that the President cannot micro-manage all the sectors. That is the reason we have Members of Parliament, other arms of Government, and other institutions which should shoulder responsibility. view
