    "content": "and call it a meal. It will be an incomplete meal. So, just the availability of maize alone signifies food security for this country. Therefore, we cannot watch the NCPB collapse because it is a very important institution for this country. Hon. Speaker, looking at the report, it is clear that it is riddled with a lot of inconsistencies. Some of the companies that were awarded tenders should not have been awarded the tenders in the first place because they did not qualify. They failed to meet the technical and financial requirements. I want to say that the recommendations that have been made by this Committee should be allowed to move to the next level for the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to do further investigation. Hon. Speaker, Sir, in the life of this nation time has come when we have to say no to corruption and unconventional ways of doing things. This nation is lagging behind in development because of some of these cultures that we believe in and we think are normal. The National Cereal and Produce Board (NCPB) must survive. There is no way a company can purport to supply air and it is paid millions and the accounts are closed down and we still want to say no to this report. I want to support and commend the Committee for the good work done. Thank you."
