Official Hansard sourceHon. Umulkher Harun (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. I would like to comment on the laxity in giving responses across the Ministries.

Official Hansard sourceHon. Umulkher Harun (Nominated, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I requested for this Statement four months ago.

Official Hansard sourceHon. Umulkher Harun (Nominated, ODM) The issue I am raising is that the report has cited many areas that have been covered. If I pick a simple example, like what I mentioned earlier about connectivity, in a town like Galmagala or Bura, they have cited that they have connected Bura,...
