I see Item 4 concerns one of the most committed ministers, hon. David Bahati. He normally comes here for loans and appropriation at the Committee of Supply. I think he might be having a problem. Wouldn’t it be procedurally okay that the minister around finds out what could have gone wrong with him since he is not here in time? Otherwise, THE SPEAKER: They are consulting somewhere. MR SSEWUNGU: Otherwise, I was wondering – THE SPEAKER: They are within the building. However, we need to do some work in the meantime. MS TAAKA: Madam Speaker, let me pick the report.
