I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for coming before this August House today. My question is as follows: (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary disclose the food commodities being imported duty free, stating the approved packaging and container sizes. (b) Which companies have applied for pre-qualification to import food commodities duty free from September, 2022 to date; and how many of this have been issued with permits to import? (c) How many companies have so far imported goods; and what actions will the Ministry take against the pre-qualified companies which have not complied with the terms of engagement? Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."}
