It is only one line. I am here to try to convince the Minister to use the resources available to us to deal with the crises we have. These crises are man-made. They are the result of Government policies. If the Minister is not hearing that and if it offends him that I name what is happening - that there are individuals in the circumstances I described - I am sorry he is offended but it is my duty, as a public representative, to speak truth. I am trying to encourage the Minister to change direction.
