[... survive without getting their due payment from the government to the point that they run out of business and close down, which leads to the loss of jobs and the impoverishment of families. This happens when government officials demand bribes or are too lazy to do the jobs that they are paid to do. Such acts are so disgraceful, since they imply their ignorance of the history of the struggle for freedom in this country and it also indicates that they do not have the poor's best interests at heart.
Government officials who continue to display such disgraceful behaviour should refrain from it. Those who have not yet started it should not even start as the hon Chief Whip, Stone Sizani, said. [Applause.] The government officials who are involved in corruption will be summoned and asked to explain to us why they do not pay out small businesses and co-operatives for services rendered within 30 days, since the funds paid out come from the government not from their own pockets. If they cannot explain themselves they will have to pay the penalty. This is not a joke!]
