Reply:
Considering the extensive nature of the information required to answer the question by the Honourable Member, my office is working round the clock to verify the information and facts required but it is evident that it will take some time to conclude on this one. This is so because we will be taking people away from their stations on operation. As soon as that is done I will forward the Honourable Member the full and comprehensive response as required.
