"content": "Order, hon. Members! We all used to hear in the past claims of governments mortgaging the future of its own young generation. That mortgaging used to be on the basis of the loans that were misappropriated and the fact that the future generation had to pay those debts which ended up in the pockets of dictators and other unscrupulous politicians. Now we have a situation in which we are not mortgaging our future but we are actually killing our future. It is under those circumstances that the Chair takes a very serious note of this and directs the Minister. This information is given to none other than the senior most Member of the Government now who is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. The Minister for Public Health should be available with that Ministerial Statement today. I know it will be the Prime Minister’s Time and there are other urgent matters. However, there is nothing more urgent than our children consuming Unimix that has high content of aflatoxin. In the same vein, I also want to direct the relevant Committee, on its own, also to move with speed and carry out scrutiny and investigations. I will now ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to give an undertaking on the same for the Minister to have this Ministerial Statement available today because it should have been available this morning but now we will have it in the afternoon."
