What I am asking is that at least in every PPP agreement that is entered into, as MPs, through our respective Departmental Committees, we have an opportunity to interrogate those PPPs.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Because I came and sat next to him, he assumes that he can intimidate me. He knows that I can never be intimidated, least of all, by somebody from Kipipiri.
