Deputy Speaker, I want to support the position of the Committee. Mr. Solomon Kitungu is a person I have known very well especially when he was in the Privatization Commission, together with Wycliffe Etemesi. They did a good job only that we politicised the privatisation sector and that is why he could not achieve what he would have wished to. Otherwise, he is a very good man and I congratulate him on how far he has come. I wish him the best if he is finally appointed as the Principal Secretary for Transport."}
