Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my colleague for providing this answer to the Statement that I sought around 30th or 31st of July this year and it was so urgent because I woke up one morning and the security officer that had been attached to me for seven years was suddenly withdrawn without any explanation.

Trouble started in the late 1980s to the early 1990s where today we have close to 17 textile firms that have been closed and we only ...
