Could the Assistant Minister commit himself to go there and meet members of the business community? They have addressed to me a document on the letterhead of the National Chamber of Commerce and Industry; he should meet them. The economy of Western Province is down on its knees. Pharmacies and hardware shops are closed because the owners fear that they will die. I will give him a copy of this letter, so that he can use it to go there and talk to them."}
