When a contract of doing a road is given, a specified period is given, for example, 36 months. If, after 36 months, the contractor has not completed, he applies for extension. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order to request that this matter be deferred until the Minister comes and brings here documents showing how the Government has been extending this contract repeatedly for a period of 20 years. We do not believe her!"}
