Hon member, the activities of the hon Minister's wife were obviously clandestine and that is why it took lots of crime intelligence activity to keep tabs on her and to eventually nail her and the other drug pushers, the partners in crime.
Now, your question, sir, is: Did the Minister declare the income from this activity? The activity itself is not only unlawful, but it is a criminal activity. The Minister does not regard that as gainful employment - he is employed as a Minister. He could not have been party to such activity; otherwise he himself would be behind bars.
I think in all fairness the answer must be no, he did not declare that as income of the family, because obviously he was unaware and not implicated in the matter in any manner. The matter went through the courts and a determination was made, and at no stage was he ever called in, either as a witness or as a partner in the crime. I wouldn't want to go in that direction. I suppose it is sufficient to simply say that the likelihood is that he would not have declared such income. Thank you. [Applause.]
