It\u2019s just absolutely nonsense and I\u2019ve maintained that position throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minority Leader, Dominic Nitiwul in an interview with <strong>Citi News<\/strong> said: \u201cI don\u2019t think the NDC will be brave enough or they will master courage to bring that matter to Parliament for us to spend time on.
