This Petition being important and of national interest, I will allow one or two comments.

Please note that it is a Petition which has already been presented. The Presenter of the Petition, under our Standing Orders, had five minutes which he has already used. The rest of the Members, under Standing Order No.208, will have a total of five minutes. So, Dr. Khalwale, do one minute because I have seen two other hon. Members who want to comment.

I thought that in your prayers you had requested that the two Departmental Committees be involved.

That should not be a difficult matter. I wish to direct that that Petition, under our Standing Orders, be committed to the Departmental Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives and that of Lands and Natural Resources. The two committees will work jointly and report to the House within 21 days.

Yes, indeed, I have heard your prayer and it is granted. So, the time for the joint committees as mentioned will be extended by one more week and we expect that report in the House expeditiously. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister! We have some communication from the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Trade, all of them not wanting to respond to this Question. They say that it is not within their mandate. The Leader of Government business should help us here.

Mr. Ojode, who is standing in for the Leader of Government Business? You need to listen to one or two points of order then you can respond together.

I am going to listen to the Leader of Government Business. We must move on!

This is the ruling of the Chair. I direct this Question to the Ministry of Finance because it seems both the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Trade are pointing in the direction of the Ministry of Finance. So, Ministry of Finance, please, get your facts and come ready on Wednesday afternoon. May this Question be on the Order Paper on Wednesday afternoon.
