Hon Speaker, the subject is about local government; I thought so. But the question that you have been debating so much has nothing to do with the answer that I have given. I don't know why I should answer that question, because the question is not related to Question 10 in terms of which we are talking about local government. The matter referred to is a matter not within the province of local government. That is my problem. We have taken decisions on the issues related to what I have raised here - that we are ready to take action if there is any wrongdoing and we will continue to do so in local government. We will continue to do so at any other level of government.
I am just saying that you have taken up a lot of your time on an unrelated matter. I am sure the members are very keen to hear about this matter. Its time will come. They will hear about it. Thank you. [Applause.]
