    "content": "there, there is nothing that has been done. That is over six years now. The losses that this country continues to incur over those kinds of projects is unacceptable. One of the things that you find is that there are those people who place people in certain positions of power in parastatals or appointments in boards with the intention of making use of them. They then deliver the stolen funds from those parastatals. My plea is that, as we go forward, those reports should be taken seriously and the implementation be done to make sure that for those people who are mentioned, action is taken. That way, people will have hope in us and, particularly, the hon. Members in this Eleventh Parliament. Even as we now look at the current issues, people will look at what has been done in the past and they can be assured that things will be better. I want to say that there have been many cases that have been mentioned of people who have been known to have stolen money. Recommendations have been made but nothing happens. You even wonder whether the monies that have been stolen are used for cover-up. Is it that those people who have stolen cannot be touched because they have money? I believe this House has the responsibility to make sure that it does not matter how important or how rich one is; the interest of this nation will always be safeguarded. With those few remarks, I support this Report."
