    "content": "This is not something that should be discussed and accepted. We should be condemning it and appealing that nobody should grab land and then somebody somewhere legalises the action of land grabbing. That is tolerating evil and people who are not supposed to be in society. The second issue is the non-implementation of recommendations by the Committee. Time and again, we have had the watchdog Committees, PAC and PIC, coming up with strong recommendations against people found to have misappropriated and stolen public funds or abused their offices. To my surprise and this House, no action has been taken. I am just hoping that this is going to change to ensure that people who are found to have abused public office and misappropriated funds are made to account for those deeds. I want to comment on the Office of the Auditor-General (AG). We have heard of cases and particularly to do with the NSSF where the AG has attempted to remove unresolved issues from the records of this State corporation. We have raised this with the NSSF and other corporations. Where issues remain unresolved, audit queries are raised, evidence is taken, but not concluded, these must remain in the books until such a time when they are resolved. I want to appeal to the AG’s Office to make sure that they remain focused, protect public funds and resources which have been assigned to them. With those few, remarks I support the Report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
