On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Given that this House has provisions for Ministers who have comprehensive reports to make and answer questions, particularly on a matter such as this which is really the engine of our economy, would I be in order to request that you ask him to go and make this presentation to the relevant Departmental Committee, so that, that Committee can come and give us a comprehensive report? These issues, as the Assistant Minister admits, are very complicated and, with the time he has, he clearly cannot answer the Question appropriately.

I will take three clarifications and then I will go to the next step, starting with hon. Okemo.

Order, Mr. Okemo! You cannot get away with the saying “secondly” every time you want to seek more clarifications.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is a specific provision in the Constitution that gives all these Ministers, who, sit from hon. Ojode up to the end there, collective responsibility to this House. In the event one Minister is sick, or is sleeping, or is flying, he can send a message to another person, so that the House can be kept informed! It is not proper for the Minister to come and say that---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, because this matter has been coming to this House so many times, could the Minister also disclose when answering that question, who the owners of the African Safari Club Company Limited are? This is because they appear to be getting away with impunity. So, could the Minister tell the House who the proprietors of this company are?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to direct hon. Members to get in touch with the District Commissioners when it is his responsibility to ensure that these names are gazetted? Is it in order for him now to shift the blame to somebody else?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I happen to have been sitting here when this direction was given. Indeed, the Minister walked in. It is a defiance of the direction of the Speaker. Is it in order for us just to ignore direction and orders of the Speaker without getting any explanation other than: “I shall inform them”?
