    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) After the exposure of the fraudulent activities of Track-It Limited, the Government moved swiftly and instituted investigations into the alleged activities of this company. Officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) are currently investigating the scam, with a view to unearthing the truth and arrest any possible suspect involved in the illegal and dangerous activities. An inquiry file No.35/09 was opened following the allegations and investigations are on-going. (b) The Government is not aware of any threat directed towards the journalists who exposed the alleged fraud as no report has so far been made to any police station. However, I wish to assure all journalists that the Government will always guarantee their security. (c) The role of the police officers that were temporarily attached to Track-It Company Limited since the year 2005 were to track and recover all stolen motor vehicles fitted with tracking gadgets and arrest all suspected robbers or car thieves found with such stolen motor vehicles. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is, therefore, no police involvement in any cover-up or corrupt dealings. The company has since closed its doors and the attached police officers withdrawn from the firm."
