Hon Speaker, hon President, firstly, let me commend your announcement during the state of the nation in February this year that the National Prosecuting Authority, NPA, will soon be setting up its own model of an independent "scorpion type unit" to investigate and prosecute those found guilty of further state capture and corruption.
To put it simple, Mr President, the Hawks simply do not fly. However, hon President, with regard to the Bosasa debacle and others that we are currently witnessing, is this "scorpion style unit" enough? Shouldn't you, additionally, be giving serious consideration to establish an additional Chapter 9 integrity commission, whose sole task will be the independent prevention, combating, investigation and prosecution of those involved in grand corruption? I would like your views in this regard, hon President.
