The clarity needs to come from this committee. When we make our request to the Minister, we should make it clear that the issue of illegality should not be obfuscated with the details of the motorised transport scheme. That is my fear, however. We could talk all day about the motorised transport scheme without getting to the issue we need to raise with the Minister. According to the Ombudsman's report, the law is optional for the Minister. That, not the details of the motorised transport scheme, is surely what we want to discuss with the Minister.
