"The more transport infrastructure we provide the more efficient the economy becomes, resulting in more business opportunities."

"The health of the private sector in any economy is a fair measure of how prosperous and democratic that economy is."

"I have played my role but people can decide whether it is quiet or not"

"Democracy does not guarantee that the leader or those leaders will deliver or indeed are able to deliver on what we want."
