On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In Donyo Sabuk there are people encroaching that hill. You do not need a new Constitution to evict them. As the Government, they just need to evict them. Therefore, is the Assistant Minister in order to hide behind laws while there are existing laws which he can apply? Evict these people using the laws which are already there!

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This matter affected many constituencies. The Assistant Minister came to this House and committed himself that the Ministry would take action against cases of this nature and correct the situation.

In some cases, I have seen forms where they have specified where they come from. I find this answer incomplete because it has come to our knowledge that these scholarships are a preserve of the Ministers so that if the Minister is from Eastern Province, ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I need to have an indication of when the Minister will provide that information. We do not need to have the name of the constituency in the form, but as long as you have the figure, that will serve us as a constituency comfortably. This is not just an allegation. This matter was discussed even in the Ninth Parliament where one got over 40 scholarships. We are very sure that he is a very efficient Minister. We are excited that he has taken over the Ministry so as to ensure that, that kind of ...
