"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have actually addressed ourselves to the issue of lifting the corporate veil, and that is why we have embarked on this very tedious and laborious action of trying to trace whatever property may have been of the previous company. I said that we have discovered two properties that were previously in their name, but they are now in the name of the transferee. After lifting the corporate veil we are saying that this transfer may not have been genuine, and we are going to sell these two properties. So, we have addressed ourselves to this issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that tax avoidance is not an offence, but tax evasion is. However, again, the directors of the two companies are not the same in all these respects. The shareholders also, are not the same in all respects; some are there while some are in the other company. So, to get a direct relationship is difficult; but we are going to try and sell those two properties; if we are successful we will move on to the others because it will be a test case and we will have succeeded."
