"Some of these ministers actually have the guts to hold Kgotla meetings without even inviting the MPs."

"The ministers must understand that providing untrue answers tarnishes the image of the Masisi-led government. It opens the floodgates of criticism of our government and has the potential to negatively affect the BDP in the general elections."

"I wish people would not judge or crucify him because of this bill."

"Therefore, it is high time I reported these kinds of ministers to President Masisi so that action may be taken. When a question is posed in Parliament, the general public becomes agog because they want to know what is happening with their tax money."

"How can we promote homosexuality when our population has been stagnant for so many years? We should be blaming our low population growth rate on this kind of moral decay."

"They are against it because they feel it threatens the moral fabric of society and goes against religious beliefs. Significantly, it is an impediment to our population growth."

"We will try by all means to ensure that voting on the motion is by open ballot so that we see who is against the President."

"But then again, they should know that once the motion passes, the party will have no confidence in them."

"Taxes would affect every citizen in a bad way and we politicians included. We would not be rushing for salary increase but rather hope that developments as budget in our constituencies contained in the National Development Plan (NDP 11) are prioritized immediately."

"This budget shown that the worst is ahead for us as the foreign reserves are drying up fast. If the little that is left is not utilized wisely, the country will be bankrupt beyond recovery."

"The most unfortunate thing is that they are now playing the tribal card."

"I understand that they want to punish me because they believe that I am always against them in Parliament. They have even gone as far as pledging campaign funds for those who want to challenge me in primary elections."
