• 16 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I read the statement as given, but I also want to say that our Committee has been very active with regard to issues pertaining to health in the country.

• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know I promised to give the response today but it has been difficult to get any answer unless I now use the power given to us by Article 125 of the Constitution.
