"content": "continue telling my people in my region that BBI brings several benefits. The first is more constituencies. Second is the Ward Development Fund, which I fought for strongly. This House passed it and it went to the National Assembly. It was torpedoed there and now BBI has revived it. Thirdly, when I was in the National Assembly, I moved an amendment to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), to provide what we call a waiver of penalties to graduates who do not have employment. Now BBI has revived that idea and that, to me, it is going to assist poor graduates, at least, have some rebate for about four years. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, finally, those of us who come from farming communities, agriculture has now found expression in an explicit manner in the Constitution. The new Article 11 (a) once passed, will definitely provide a legal basis for what we call guaranteed minimum returns. With those few remarks, I urge Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri to second. Thank you."
