    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I have looked at the Report. Unfortunately, the Report has dwelt more on generalities than specifics. The core business of this House is to legislate, to represent and to oversight. This Report, in my submission, is dwelling more on aspects of oversight. If the Committee looked at this and from the word go said the projects have been designed to fail, there must be consistency. That is an observation or a conclusion which must be consistent with the recommendations. The issue is, who is culpable? In this report, the Committee has denied justice. I expected some specifics. I have served in the Public Investments Committee and I know that when it comes to dams, we have a problem with the National Irrigation Board (NIB). I expect the board members to be accountable but the Report shuns away from the specifics. It is a general report. They have used the taxpayers’ money and we cannot come here and have a public relations Report."
