"We see as many as three ministers have already spoken out that they should have went to public consultation so what are your thoughts on that?"

"Well the public consultation that we're talking which is what they're doing right now they're starting to meet with the public by public it doesn't mean that you have public meetings per se but you're meeting stakeholders meeting different groups talking to them so that they could explain what is that they do and then they will come to cabinet and then we will we will listen and then and see what you decide to do."
