    "content": "recommend stern action against them. For a bank to issue a conditional bid bond, which is not effective in law, it is a crime in itself. This kind of collaboration between suppliers and banks is unacceptable. Hon. Speaker, a report that was presented by the Auditor-General to a Committee of this House recently shows that over 30 per cent of Government expenditure in the last financial years is unaccounted for. In order for us to stop this from happening and ensure that this achieves Vision 2030 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), we should be able to ensure that such schemes do not see the light of the day. We are aware of the Triton and Goldenberg scams, among others. Since, as Parliament, we are empowered to investigate such developments with our parastatals, we should stand to be counted. Therefore, we should support this report, as Parliament, because we want to save this country. Let us not oppose this report because we want to protect a few individuals. Let us not support this report because we want to punish anybody but rather on the basis of its contents. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
