    "content": "The President has given a directive that we need to build classrooms in every school to accommodate the new order of social distancing and sitting arrangement. We have also been instructed to make desks which some of us have been doing for schools. For this to happen, we need to have those committees in place for the constituencies which were not able to do so in time. I also take this opportunity to ask the Government and the National Treasury to release the NG-CDF money. This is because most constituencies have not received even 50 per cent. Yet, we are at the tail-end of the financial year. So, it is important that the National Treasury moves with speed. I know they are working round the clock to ensure that we get the money. But it is important for them to understand and appreciate that NG-CDF is not like any other Government department. It touches the core of the nation because we touch peoples’ lives in a very special way. With those many words, I second what my Chairman has said and may those members be accepted. Thank you."
