Well, any evidence of the diversion of funds from the purpose for which public funds ought to be utilised is worrying and it is something that we should be able to nip in the bud. When the Public Service Commission report reveals such matters, that very report ought to be the basis for the corrective measures to be taken. We've got to go out and find out which gaps were used to siphon off and divert resources, ensure that there is no repeat and, where possible, recover those resources. That is why the Asset Forfeiture Unit and Special Investigating Unit exist. Only when people know that they can't get away with it will the temptation be eliminated. [Applause.]
