    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the adoption of these Report, but looking at the litany of omissions and acts of commission set out by Mr. Ethuro in these Report, I am sure similar Reports have been dealt with in this House before. The only problem, and I could go through this over and over again, is the lack of implementation of recommendations of this House. Time has come for this House to decide that it is necessary to have an implementation committee of the House to look at these recommendations. If that is not done, then two weeks from now, this Report will be shelved and will be forgotten until next year when we shall have a similar Report to talk about. The office of the Attorney-General is the legal advisor and defender of this Government. This Report contains indictments on the Office of the Attorney-General. In my view, talking as a lawyer, the omissions that we see in this Report from the Office of the Attorney-General are not simply incompetence or dishonesty, but a combination of both. There is no way the Office of the Attorney-General can defend the Government when major road construction contracts are terminated and penalty provisions of the contract are not invoked. As a result, the Government loses a lot of money and yet nothing happens. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my view is that we are going to have similar Reports. However, for now, I wish to say that we support the adoption of this Report, but the House should look seriously at possibilities of having an implementation committee."
