Madam Temporary Speaker, from the onset, the importation of duty-free maize was shrouded in mystery.

• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to respond to the concerns of the Members. It has not changed the form but has increased the dragnet. This is because the minutes that came to us as the evidence of why we wanted to deal with the Cabinet Secretary(CS) for Agriculture and Irrigation, and the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury, we discovered that the meeting that authorised the importation of duty free maize was chaired by the Head of Public Service where the three CSs were present--- If you look at the minutes of June 21st and November, you will find ... view

The main reason that we thought we must relook at this is the fact that there are more sweeping recommendations that we were given in November, when maize had been harvested and four million bags of maize were being imported immediately from Mexico, which was an immediate action for 9 million bags. We, therefore, just want this thing to be very accurate and perfect so that it does not distort the message.

• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was going to support what Sen. Orengo said. We do not need to delay the conclusion. Who knows how many people are remaining?
