    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is an extremely important issue that Sen. Wetangula is raising about disproportionate distribution of resources in this country. I have said this many times in this House, that we need to have a candid discussion on whether we need to live as a Republic or go separate ways with regard to how resources are distributed. I said this in the debate on whether to approve the extension of the debt ceiling of the country; that there was an obvious intention by this current administration to deny certain regions resources. When it comes to borrowing we borrow as a country, but when it comes to distribution of the same resources, there is discrimination and it is skewed towards certain regions. This has continued and we saw the same debacle when we had the formula that was brought before this House confirming my fears and now in the policies of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Sen. Wetangula must be commended for continuously keeping a keen eye on the happenings in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and always reminding this House that if we do not put out our voice for the farmers, then nobody else will speak out for them. The other day, Sen. Wetangula reminded us about the Coffee Fund."
