    "content": "Hon. Members, we will end the debate on the Petition now. That Petition and the contributions you have made raise several issues that are crosscutting. The Chairman of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture has said that his Committee is seized of the matter. Hon. Wangwe, I hope you are listening. Hon. Sunkuli also said that the Departmental Committee on Health is looking at the matter. However, the Petition ought to be committed. Therefore, I commit it to the Public Petitions Committee, but I direct, as the Leader of the Majority Party had commented, that a forensic audit be carried out in pursuance of this Petition. The Office of the Clerk will assist on how the committee can interrelate in dealing with the matter. The Departmental Committee on Health has an unlimited opportunity and jurisdiction over matters dealing with health. Equally, the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture has an unlimited jurisdiction on matters within their purview in public investments. The committees should find a way, through the Office of the Clerk, on how they can collaborate. I suggest that the committees second one or two Members to the Public Petitions Committee when it sits on this Petition, so that there is nexus between what the two committees are investigating and what the Public Petitions Committee will be dealing with. It is so directed."
