Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I sincerely apologise because I am unable to proceed with this matter since I am not prepared. As you have heard, I have just come from a long trip and was not aware about this. I am sorry for that. I kindly request this matter be deferred to the next sitting, even if it is tomorrow.

I believe they should take their internal fights to their ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it is time Parliament also asserted its authority. I have been in many committees, and one thing I have seen is that funds which are supposed to be used for the benefit of the people have actually been diverted for other purposes to make it easier for people to take that money at the other end. In agriculture, there is a colleague who talked about surplus of crops and potatoes. We have even seen in the past surplus of milk, whereby milk is poured down the drain. I think it is time that we ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have two Papers that I am supposed to table. Unfortunately, on perusal, I found that the clerks had mixed the Papers. I apologise for that and request that I be given more time to put the Papers in order before tabling. I can work on them and table them tomorrow.
