Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to have a consolidated list from even the other two colleagues. This issue appears to be rampant. We want to address it directly with the Ministry. We will respond to the House in a week’s time.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Firstly, I thank Hon. Passaris for raising this particular matter. If we must take this country seriously, any person who commits a crime, regardless of the level they operate in, should be aware that nobody is above the law. Pastor Ng’ang’a, whoever he...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not emotional about this matter; I am all about facts. If she has more information on this matter, let her raise it so that we put DCI to question, including even summoning them to Parliament. Order, Hon. Passaris. The Thank you. As a Committee, we...
