"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been scheduling meetings for two- and-a-half years in order to get this matter resolved. We seem to agree that nothing was happening. We called for about nine meetings. The Ministers skipped six of them and only appeared in three of them. I want to acknowledge also Minister Oparanya, who has been a good ally of the Committee. He has always been with us in spite of some misgivings initially. There is not much we can do because when the barons in the Treasury; when those functionaries who think they own Government resources and it is not public funds, refuse to honor commitments, then we have no otherwise. We even formed a sub-committee to deal with Treasury on this matter. For the last one year, they could not give us names and we could not hold a single meeting with the Treasury on this particular matter."
