You will also remember that I addressed the House two weeks ago on this subject of drug trafficking. At that time, a lot of questions were asked by the hon. Members. I said that the police were investigating. I want to confess to the House that I received those documents formally from the Ambassador of the United States of America through a letter. On the day the Members were asking me to name names here, I asked one Member whether he knows that his name is not in that list. This is a very serious matter. That is why I resisted the temptation of Members to mention names that time. I said that the names had been given to competent authorities to carry out investigations. I have set up a taskforce to specifically deal with this matter. This investigation is ongoing as I speak right now, because I gave an undertaking that we must get to the root of this issue. So, the names now have been mentioned, but I wanted the House to know these investigations have already started and they are being dealt with by competent authorities."}
