    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we met this morning to address the issue of corruption. I would urge Members of Parliament and the public to read that report. If you do that, you will see that the Ministries that come into contact with citizens on a day-to-day basis are the ones that are listed as corrupt because of certain delays in delivery of service. 2056 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 12, 2006 As you may appreciate, for a society that has been immersed in corruption for many years, when an action is delayed, immediately, one thinks that officers want something from him. So, there is that element of corruption which we know is taking place in certain areas. But it is basically at the point of service delivery. For example, there are no drugs at a hospital or the sub- chief becomes blood-minded and he just wants this fellow to come back tomorrow. All these things are there. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that we are not condoning anything. We want to give the best of the service that we can command. Security is also a very difficult nut to crack. I would like this House to understand that maintaining security is not like playing football. On the procurement issues, as you know, the new laws have isolated items that might be designated to be a part of security and yet, they are not security items."
