We dealt earlier with the contributions we are getting from the religious congregations, which is quite a small amount. Again, I do not accept the argument that we are where we are. Why do we always end up in that space? We get the forecasting wrong. We did not anticipate the level of activities there would be when the organisation was set up. The same problems keep recurring. People appear before the Committee of Public Accounts, they acknowledge mistakes were made and they go out the door. The Secretary General, who is the Accounting Officer will go out the door, and we could be back here in one, two or five years if the same problems arise. It gets a bit tiring and it is difficult for us because all we can do is put questions.
