First, in equity we have a maxim that says: “Equity assists the vigilant and not the indolent.” So, the point at which he should have raised it has long passed.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, a Suba is not here, but we will come in the next one. But there is Mbadi and I. If you have two Subas, those are equivalent to about 100.
