Could the Assistant Minister consider leaving issues concerning land to the Provincial Administration which has the necessary structures of dealing with land matters so that the mainstream police do not get involved in matters of land?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am at a loss, because when the Americans say that they have passed this information to the Government and that they have given travel bans, they actually gave these names to the airlines and the travel agents have the information.
