Deputy Speaker, whenever the law has been broken in this country, the rule is that it must take its course. Someone must be held accountable for their actions. Let me say, regarding the termination, that we have said to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, Scopa, we are preparing to take the function over by this time next year. Apart from that, we have agreed with the Standing Committee on Public Accounts that, on their part, they shall visit our facilities on a regular basis, and that we shall report to them on a regular basis with regard to the progress made in the process of acquiring these services ourselves. Thank you.
