MP says our girls would not be abused if we accounted for $15 billion from diamonds that is allegedly missing

Mr. Speaker, let us get rid of corruption.  If there is corruption, we cannot develop.  What caused economic meltdown was the issue of corruption.  We talk of $15 billion that went unaccounted for.  That is money that should have created jobs in this country.  We have mineral resources that are of high value.  It is said that money from diamonds is not known where it went to.  When we talk to others they will tell you that there are sanctions.  Where did the $15 billion go?  The money was not accounted for after we had our minerals.  How can we create jobs if there are such corrupt tendencies?  We need transparency; if our mines were operating properly, our diamonds would be sold and it would enable us to open up industries and engage in value addition.

We have caused some of the problems.  We cannot think of addressing issues that we created.  So, we need to create sustenance for our children.  I thank you.
