Today that issue has been ... view
• 25 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your magnanimity.

I thank the President and tell him to soldier on because there are better days ahead of us. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view

These family dynamics necessitated legal intervention, rendering the matter outside the scope of ... view

Member acquaints himself with the contents of the case. So, he can assist ... view
