Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr President, as you have said, the report on illicit capital outflow shows it is mainly attributable to kickbacks, bribery, trade mispricing and favouritism towards multinational corporations. And, in many instances, heads of state and governments co- operate.
In Sierra Leone the capital flight was 425% of their GDP. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, and in Zimbabwe north of us, the flight was 344% of GDP. We are one of the big five losers in the world. This is serious. Should you not think, hon President, that this must be higher on your agenda and is it not possible to take more drastic steps than just simply using the ordinary machinery available to you and the state?
