Deputy Speaker, let me speak on the corruption issue. It is, indeed, a cancer. It lowers the economic growth of a country and also discourages investments. I belong to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives that is mentioned in the Report. I share the sentiments of hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona that it is wrong to collectively condemn a Committee instead of going for the individuals concerned. I thank the Speaker because he is going to give direction on this matter this afternoon."}
