And later in the day, Kareem Musa got a chance to have his way with the Opposition, just as most of those on his side have so far. But Musa served up some shade by calling the UDP speeches: a nothing burger, a "liad" burger, and a confused burger. Here's how that went.
Kareem Musa, Minister of Immigration
"It's not 12:05pm, it's lunch hour so I'm getting hungry. And when I get hungry, I have a confession to make. When I get hungry, I like a little Chon Saan. It's one of my favorite restaurants, when the man was running against me, my family forbade me from eating at Chon Saan. So for two years I struggled without Chon Saan but now I could eat it again. But having heard the presentations over the last 3 days I think we might have to add some stuff to the menu because one of the favorite things to me is the chicken burger. But when I listened to the Leader of the Opposition on the first day, again I was probably hungry because the first thing I think, this is a nothing burger. For 2 hours we were subjected to a healthy serving of nothing. No solutions, no alternatives, no plan."
"But then yesterday we got a little serving of spicy burger, a lot of spice. But all that pepper, all that Marie Sharp on that meat, it can't help the meat because the meat spoiled. It's a liad burger. The man bring a whole liad burger in the House. And to think, this is somebody who knows his way in the kitchen."
"How could he come to this honorable House and say his people didn't get any houses? The Honorable member for Cayo South put him right, 7 members of your constituency have gotten starter homes, 7. It makes you wonder if we should bring back Shyne."
"So we had the nothing burger, then we had the liad burger, and then this morning, I don't know what to say, it sounds like a confused burger but I don't know if there is such a thing. A confused burger or maybe a dry burger because it didn't have any ketchup or mayonnaise or nothing on it. But he's confused because yesterday the member for Mesop said we are paying the public officers too much and now he's coming and saying he wants a raise for the nurses, but your colleague from Mesop said he does not support our public officers."
"Anyway I won't order any of those 3 things off the Chon Saan menu, I will stick to the chicken burger."
